A traditional paper resume and a LinkedIn profile are compared. Some key differences highlighted are: - A LinkedIn profile is available online and can be viewed and edited from any device with a web browser, while a resume needs to be physically carried and requires special software to edit. - A LinkedIn profile allows users to showcase recommendations from colleagues and friends, blog posts, presentations, and information about their company and connections. This type of information cannot be displayed on a traditional resume. - The format of LinkedIn profiles is universal, making it easier to compare profiles, while resume formats can vary greatly.
