How to change the resume posted on LinkedIn


After having updated my resume recently, I wanted to replace the file which is available on my LinkedIn profile. I clicked on every option on my profile page but could not find an option to see the existing resume file or upload a new one.

This resume file is the one which gets sent to the recruiter when you apply for jobs on LinkedIn using the Easy Apply button on the job posting. 

After spending a very frustrating 30 odd minutes, I realized that the only way to access this was by applying for a position using the Easy Apply option. The Easy Apply option opens a small window which allows you to select the resume files which you have uploaded. This page also gives you an option to delete the existing file and upload a new one. At the bottom of this page, there is a link for "Application Settings" which also gives you the option to manage the resume file stored on your profile. 

The URL of this page is https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/application-settings https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/application-settings/. So you could also go to this page directly by visiting that URL while you are already logged into LinkedIn. 

Hope this information helps other job seekers update their resume file stored with their profile.
