Microsoft Word resume: add a LinkedIn link to your resume

Make your LinkedIn URL clickable, or point it at your new profile address. This works on the PDF Microsoft Word exported. Word resumes edit cleanly: bold titles, italic dates and bullets are recognised. Calibri and Cambria have open clones with identical widths; Aptos gets the closest open font only with your permission.

How Microsoft Word writes resume PDFs

  • • Save as PDF embeds only the letters used, as subset TrueType fonts.
  • • Each run of formatting is written as its own piece of text.
  • • Tables and rules are drawn as lines around positioned text.

What happens to the rest of your resume

  • • New links are shown in blue and underlined, as readers expect.
  • • Web, email and phone links are supported.

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 Microsoft Word?

If you still have the Microsoft Word version and a lot to change, yes. For a quick fix to the PDF you already sent, editing the PDF is faster.
