I'd treat the resume and LinkedIn as different jobs: one is a scannable application artifact; the other is a living professional narrative.

How I'd split them

Artifact Job
Resume Pass ATS + recruiter skim for this role
LinkedIn Discovery, referrals, longer proof, voice

Practical rules I follow

  1. Resume: tighter bullets, role-targeted keywords, PDF/DOCX as requested
  2. LinkedIn: richer context, featured work, recommendations that aren't generic
  3. Don't paste the resume verbatim onto LinkedIn—people notice
  4. Keep dates and titles consistent so nothing looks shady

I'd still lead both with outcomes. The difference is density and audience.

Sharpen the story with a PM Certification if you're early-career; seniors should let operating proof dominate.
