I just went through a round of interviews with a few companies and I didn't use a resume. They only asked for one the day before the scheduled onsite, so interviewers could have something in hand going in. I told them to just use my LinkedIn.

While you might say my LinkedIn is my resume, every single interview was the result of a referral or me reaching out to the company directly. I didn't submit a single job application. Nobody looked at my resume and made a snap judgement about whether to pursue me as a candidate.
