I need a resume. Will my LinkedIn Profile Work My answer NO

I need a resume. Will my LinkedIn Profile Work My answer NO I was recently asked for a resume.  This is for what I think can be an exciting writing experience (Id essentially have my own column). The person who asked me said I would need to submit a resume.  Folks, I havent had a resume for about seven years!  And that resume is for a project/product manager, not for a writer. In the last seven years my career has taken a dramatic twist, and what they want me for is for my writing. I asked if I could send them my LinkedIn Profile and they said that might be fine, but to please put it into Word.  So I exported to pdf, then copy-and-paste to Word. As I was looking at the document, which was liked a stripped down Profile and nothing like a resume, my thought was the LinkedIn Profile CANT take over the resume. Perhaps if my Profile had only resume-like stuff on it maybe it would work.  But putting my exported Profile into Word and thinking it was going to be a resume was a joke. I think there will always be people who ask for a resume.  And your Profile will not look like a resume.  To get it right youll have to do a lot of reworking might as well start from scratch. I would love to hear your opinion and experience on this.  Mine says NO WAY. I need a resume.
