How to delete your LinkedIn resume

Your LinkedIn profile is your professional digital identity, and keeping it updated is crucial for making a positive impression on recruiters and hiring managers. Having multiple outdated resumes on your profile can lead to confusion and questions about your background.

Therefore, it’s essential to regularly update your profile by removing old resumes and uploading the most recent version of your CV.

Recruiters want to see your latest skills, experience, and qualifications. Outdated resumes may contain information that is no longer relevant or accurate.

Moreover, having several versions of your resume on your profile can create unnecessary clutter, potentially overshadowing your current achievements.

Alternatively, if you want to retain resumes within LinkedIn but restrict recruiter access, you can hide them. From the Application Settings page, toggle off “Share resume data with recruiters” to prevent recruiters from viewing your resume while keeping it saved internally on LinkedIn.

By following these simple steps, you can present a streamlined and updated list of credentials on your LinkedIn profile, enhancing your chances of attracting the right opportunities in the competitive professional landscape.
