Good news for job seekers on LinkedIn! The platform is adding some powerful new tools powered by artificial intelligence (AI) to help you land your dream job. But there’s a catch: these features are exclusive to Premium subscribers, at least for now.
Imagine searching for jobs with a simple sentence instead of wading through endless keyword filters. That’s the power of LinkedIn’s new conversational job search. Just type in what you’re looking for, like “find me a remote marketing job in Detroit that pays at least $110,000,” and the AI will scour its database to find relevant opportunities. This could be a game-changer for job seekers who want to target specific roles with ease.
It can also become your personal resume coach. Upload your resume and get personalized feedback tailored to a specific job posting. You can then work with the AI to “make edits interactively,” ensuring your resume highlights the most relevant skills and experiences for the position you desire.
Feeling stuck on your cover letter? No problem! Another AI tool can help you build one “from scratch.” This can be a huge time-saver, especially if you’re applying to multiple jobs with different requirements.
These features build upon LinkedIn’s initial foray into AI-powered job-hunting tools, which launched in beta late last year. One such tool offered summaries of posts in your LinkedIn feed, helping you stay on top of the latest industry news and trends.
But LinkedIn’s AI ambitions extend beyond just finding a job. They’re also piloting a program with AI chatbots modeled after real-world experts. Imagine having a conversation with a virtual Alicia Reece or Anil Gupta to gain insights on business topics! These chatbots are trained on the knowledge of the experts they represent, offering personalized guidance based on your specific needs.
The company is also tight-lipped about specifics, but they’ve hinted at using generative AI to improve the overall search functionality on the platform. This could mean smarter searches for everything from finding people to exploring jobs, conducting outreach, and even seeking knowledge. LinkedIn’s Chief Product Officer, Tomer Cohen, promises a “revolution” in search capabilities, allowing users to delve deeper into any topic directly through LinkedIn.
These search enhancements are expected to roll out “in the coming weeks,” so keep an eye out for them. While the initial rollout of AI features is limited to Premium subscribers, it’ll be interesting to see if and how these tools become more accessible in the future.
