Linkedin resume builder easily creates a resume from your LinkedIn profile. On the plus side, the process requires a few clicks. On the negative side, the results are not useful for me.
Try it out for yourself. Log on to the LinkedIn resume builder and connect to your LinkedIn profile. Choose the template you prefer. I used the Executive template.
To edit your resume, open your LinkedIn profile and make changes. When you are finished, view your resume or print your resume to a PDF format.
I always recommend customizing your resume for a specific job. This resume tool makes customization difficult. For every new resume, you would update your LinkedIn profile and create a new resume. This two step process is more cumbersome than updating the resume itself.
Here is a link to my April M. Williams Resume produced by the LinkedIn Resume Builder. What do you think of the format?
