Google Docs resume: add a LinkedIn link to your resume

Questions people ask
+Do links work in applicant tracking systems?
The link text stays real text, so it can be read; whether a system follows the link depends on the system.
+Is it better to edit in Google Docs?
If you still have the Google Docs version and a lot to change, yes. For a quick fix to the PDF you already sent, editing the PDF is faster.
