With more people than ever out there looking for work, the free online resume site VisualCV recently announced a little bit of help -- you can now add a button to your resume that takes visitors directly to your LinkedIn profile.
VisualCV has a straightforward step-by-step guide to how to do it, but basically, it's just logging into your LinkedIn profile, picking which button you want and then adding to your resume. Seems silly that I never did it before, but you can of course do the reverse, and add your VisualCV to your LinkedIn Profile.
It's the whole point of social networking, right? This is a nice way to cross platforms. And with all the cutbacks going on these days, it seems like it can't hurt to be as accessible as possible.
According to the folks at VisualCV, the site currently has about 105,000 resumes right now. Does anyone else have other resume sites they like to use? Or are you just using your LinkedIn profile as your online resume?
I have seen something similar to VisualCV. They are www.idlogik.com - I do not know if you can link to Linkedin though.

Thanks for the coverage of VisualCV!
We recently introduced some new features that make it easy to import your LinkedIn profile when creating your VisualCV and make it even easier to link to your VisualCV from your LinkedIn profile. Tutorial updates for both are coming soon!
