LinkedIn is a widely used professional platform among professionals, and everyone has a profile that shows their work experience, education, and more. One of the advantages of using LinkedIn is that you can download the profile as a resume (Hard or Soft copy) and easily apply for jobs. However, you can download the resume from the platform only on the desktop version. Moreover, you can download it in PDF format and easily share it with others.
In addition, you can download the profiles of LinkedIn followers/members only to a limited number (100 PDF/mon).
