    I feel like i am taking crazy pills...Every time i go for a interview with a external recruiter...they want me to fill out all my information...which ordinarily be fine with....then they ask me after they have seen my linkedin profile and Krop resume my portfolio....do i have a proper resume...I am like...everything you need to know about me is on 3 platforms...why do you isn't clear..? Being senior creative myself, when i have hired people in their past 3 previous empoyers, I look at their folio, linkedin, and if i like what I see i have a phone call conversion...then then next step is meeting them... is designing a flash resume with pretty flowers on it really still relevant...

    Call me old-fashioned, but I still lead with the good old bog-standard CV and website portfolio, 15 years on in the business. I reckon the LinkedIn profile, B3hance profile and all of that are secondary to more traditional forms of credentials.

    Agree with Continuity. Although I think having a LinkedIn profile with actual recommendations is a must-have. You can't really make that shit up yourself -- makes you more credible.

    Have a website for your portfolio, and a LinkedIn Profile with rec's, along with a link to your PDF resume within your LinkedIn Profile. You may also want to have a simple text-based version of your resume for those large corporate companies who use those resume scanner thingamajigs.

    seriously.. I feel your pain, Joelski.

    It's very redundant.

    Get LinkedIn. It says "I know the world is bigger than print, I can engage an audience outside of who I may be most comfortable with, I have recommendations published here for all to see so they are not bullshit, I live in the real business world" ---weather that is true or not is irrelevant. For instance, for some it may signal that you are "tech and social media savvy"... Don't underestimate how over-valued LinkedIn is.
