I highly recommend it, especially in high tech professions.

Most recruiters and h.r. departments use bots to crawl resumes for keywords to narrow down candidates. So it becomes more and more important to optimize a resume and your website. Like SEO on steroids.

What I don't understand is why they're still stuck on resumes. A LinkedIn profile is much more comprehensive than a resume, with a built-in portfolio. If you're looking for a traditional job, fine. But I see companies looking for content creators, content strategists, and online marketers by requesting a resume. Why? If I'm any good at those skills, I should be able to demonstrate it with a LinkedIn profile and a robust online portfolio. I'd think companies would recognize that and ask for those.
