LinkedIn is better than résumés! Duh!!!

ComputerWorld.com reported “…some employers now review LinkedIn profiles instead of requesting résumés…. LinkedIn emerging as a dynamic, networked “living résumé.””  The September 22, 2025 article entitled " Is AI killing the resume?” (https://www.computerworld.com/article/4059636/is-ai-killing-the-resume.html) included these comments:

AI has made it easy for job applicants to tailor résumés to a job description — and good for them. But now employers are drowning in lookalike résumés with little real insight, research shows.

So, while the résumé isn’t dead, if you’re relying on it alone, you’re behind the curve. Job seekers now need a multi-pronged approach: résumé, online presence, skills, and personal branding.

The rise in AI-powered cheating on job interviews, including the use of ChatGPT and deepfakes, is driving companies like Google, Cisco and McKinsey to return to in-person chats to better detect candidate fraud and assess genuine skills.

No surprises about LinkedIn as the current leading platform for job seekers!
