Your resume is a targeted case for a specific opportunity. LinkedIn is a broader, discoverable professional presence. They should agree on the facts, but they do not need to be identical.
What to pay attention to
Use the resume for relevance, outcomes and role-specific detail. Use LinkedIn for credibility, context, recommendations, selected work and the professional themes you want to be found for.
A practical way forward
Keep dates, titles and scope consistent. A recruiter should see one coherent career story across both surfaces.
- Define the outcome before choosing the tool, title or process.
- Make ownership visible and measure what changes after the decision.
- Review the system regularly as the organisation, role or market changes.
