Definitely, LinkedIn profiles are a 'growing tool' and should be added to the career communication repertoire. As you (and John) point out, some job seekers are reluctant to invest in LI, concerned about visibility to their current employers. Offering both (resume and LinkedIn) among other communications options, therefore, is a solid, diverse job search strategy. Thanks! Jacqui Julie,

You're right, employers want MORE than skills; 'achievements and well-document stories ARE key' <--well put! Appreciate your dialogue with me on this important subject, and I agree that the resume can take many forms, is a marketing piece and must be well crafted! Jacqui Hannah,
Thanks so much for circling back!

As well, flexibility is key and being 'open' to each situation as its own unique opportunity. Finally, you underscore a point I've learned -- a resume 'always' is requested, at some point. After all, it is the 'hub' of a person's career positioning documents. Thanks for stopping by! Jacqui Dorothy,

In particular, 1. Shortcuts to hard examinations (e.g., resumes and those exercises associated with job search) do not exist. 2. All advertisements do 'not' look the same and are not piped through one platform. <--well put! 3. It should be about many vehicles, and LinkedIn is just one of those vehicles. 4. It's about the intended audience and what you want/would like that audience to do. 5. Every piece of the script and writing need to be excellent. As well, the design must be outstanding and focused on the audience. Moreover, some individuals (like many executives you work with) don't prefer to be on LinkedIn or prefer a limited profile. I recap and # your excellent comment points because they are so vivid and valid. Thanks for stopping by and extending the value of this conversation (and you're right, I am a wordsmith purist - thanks for weaving that into your words :) Cheers, Jacqui Hi John,

I agree that LinkedIn Profiles are a growing tool that no job seeker should ignore. I think the resume in its present form fills a different need as Jacqui described. I am still finding some job seekers very reluctant to invest in LI because they have heard stories what can happen if they are currently employed and an employer is aware of their profile. I think there are many strategies that can make both viable whether an individual is employed or not. But I think there is much education needed to help job seekers understand the changing facets of the job search in today's world. For now, I offer both. Interesting dialogue.

The resume in whatever form, via whichever vehicle, is a marketing piece and it must be well crafted! Employers want more than skills, they want achievers and relevant, well documented stories are the key, or as you so eloquently put it "linkage of the right words that knit together a story fabric that wraps as a cloak to fit hiring companies’ needs..." @Dorothy, I agree "cross pollination" of LI and a resume is a super way to cover all your bases.
