YOUR LINKEDIN PROFILE AND RESUME TELL YOUR STORY. When you put them together they identify your central theme that is conveyed. The LinkedIn profile helps jobs find you, and the resume is what you use when you find the right jobs to show you fit.

People who are driven to contribute to society are more likely to tell stories about their lives that transition in positive ways. Show your history to be relevant to your goals. Your narrative is your choice and only you can show how experiences connect with the path that you have taken. We can edit, revise and interpret the stories we tell about our lives.

Don’t talk about the mistakes, talk about the meaningful things you learned.
