LinkedIn is a great tool; it provides the algorithms with much data to match you with job posting, but the paper resume’s goal is to check you precisely with a job posting.

The statement about the job title you apply for should be specifically aimed at the posting and how you fit. Scanners toss you out when they don’t see that you match the posting.

Does LinkedIn provide the option of attaching a printed resume under your header to allow it to be downloaded? Yes, but please don’t do it because it won’t match the requirements of any job you are applying for.

Your printed resume should be drafted to focus on a particular job. The summary statement on that resume needs to show that you are qualified for the job posting you are applying for, and the information should reflect the job posting.

The skills must show that you have the ten skills they are asking for.

Your printed resume is drafted for the particular job, and the LinkedIn “about section” is a broader overview of who you are and what you can do.
