I'm getting old.

I miss the good ol' days when they would look at my resume, call the places to make sure I worked there, and invite me in to prove I know the skills that I put on my resume.

You can apply to a job without a LinkedIn if you want. You don't need a LinkedIn profile. I still get resumes without one.

The benefit of a LinkedIn profile is that I have something I can easily share around to teams or other hiring managers that provides an easy overview of the person in a format they're familiar with.
