LinkedIn Profile Resume Builder is a really cool application that uses your LinkedIn Profile to build a resume. http://resume.linkedinlabs.com/

This tool helps ensure that your online profile and resume are sending a consistent message. Why does this matter? Occasionally I will find a profile on LinkedIn that I really like, only to get a completely different picture of the candidate when the resume rolls in.

Your job search is about marketing yourself. In short, you are selling you. If there is a discrepancy about what is true about you, it can be tough to recover. That’s why it’s important to make sure you aren’t telling different stories in different places.
