How to Delete Your LinkedIn Resume From the Web

The process to delete your old resume from LinkedIn on the web is pretty straightforward. Follow the below steps to do it:

How to Delete Your LinkedIn Resume From Android or iPhone

The steps for deleting your LinkedIn resume are similar on both desktop and mobile versions, though you’ll have more screen space on the desktop. Here’s what you need to do to delete your resume from the LinkedIn mobile app:

1. Open the LinkedIn app on your phone.
2. In the bottom-right corner, tap the Jobs icon.
3. Choose the three horizontal dots next Search jobs box and select the Application settings option.
   
4. Tap the three dots next to the resume you want to remove from your LinkedIn profile and choose Delete.
   

The selected resume has been removed from your LinkedIn profile. In addition to adding an updated CV, you should also add your certifications on LinkedIn.

How to Hide Your Resume on LinkedIn

Perhaps you don’t want to delete your resume from LinkedIn but just hide it from recruiters. Here’s what to do:

1. Open LinkedIn on a web browser or on your phone.
2. Select the Jobs option.
3. Click Application settings.
   
4. Toggle the switch next to Share resume data with recruiters so it turns grey.

LinkedIn still has your resume on file, but the recruiters can’t see it. You can also turn off the switch next to Save resumes and application data to prevent LinkedIn from saving this information.
