Go to your LinkedIn profile page 2. Copy the URL from your browser's address bar (e.g., `https://www.linkedin.com/in/yourname`) 3. Paste the URL into the designated field on the upload screen 4. Our system will retrieve your publicly available professional information based on your LinkedIn profile ### Benefits of LinkedIn Import - **Quick setup:** Get started in seconds without preparing a resume file - **Comprehensive data:** Captures your work history, education, skills, and accomplishments from your public profile - **Convenient updates:** You can re-import anytime to refresh your information **Note:** The LinkedIn import uses publicly available profile information. In some cases, the most recent version of your LinkedIn profile may not be immediately available through our import—there can be a delay of a few days before recent updates are reflected. For best results, ensure your LinkedIn profile contains your current professional details. If your imported data seems outdated, you can try again later or export your resume directly from LinkedIn (use LinkedIn's "Save to PDF" feature) and upload that file instead. ## Option 3: Paste Resume Text If you have your resume content in a document, email, or anywhere else, you can simply **copy and paste the text** directly. ### How It Works 1.
