What to do when you're applying for different types of industries and sectors? I customize my resume for each application but my LinkedIn is a minefield. I add in the missing sections on my resume that target my nonprofit work including charity events, donor relations and fundraising but 90% of what I'm applying for is in the corporate sector.

I find that even though I've spent time customizing my resume, recruiters check out my LinkedIn and then find those skills are 'missing' online and then I don't hear from them. Does it send a mixed message if I add those in on LinkedIn or stay what's more applicable to the majority of my applications? Thank you!
