Use a current link
A CV UID link continues to show your latest information after you edit the profile.
Job-search guide
Share your CV on LinkedIn with better context.
A CV link works best when it is introduced with the role you want, your strongest relevant skills and a clear reason for the recruiter to open it. Avoid posting only “interested” below a hiring post.
Give recruiters context
Mention your target role, location, experience level and two or three relevant strengths.
Share selectively
Use public visibility for open outreach or send a PIN privately when the complete CV should be controlled.
Practical details
A simple LinkedIn sharing format
Start with one sentence explaining the opportunity you are seeking. Add a short proof point such as a project, achievement, certification or relevant experience, then place the CV UID link on its own line.
When responding to a hiring post, refer to one requirement from the post instead of sending the same generic comment everywhere. In a direct message, keep the introduction short and make it easy for the recruiter to scan your profile.
- 1

- 2
Choose the appropriate visibility and copy the CV UID link.
- 3
Write a short role-specific message and include the link or QR card.
