LinkedIn Introduces AI-Powered Tools for Cover Letters, Resumes, and More

LinkedIn, a social media site that focuses on business and employment, began testing its AI-powered job experience with a small group of Premium users at the end of last year.

The test yielded impressive results, with over 90% of participants finding it helpful for assessing if a certain role was a good fit, identifying the best ways to position themselves, or simply learning more about potential employers.

Based on this success, LinkedIn is now expanding this AI-powered job experience to all Premium subscribers globally, initially available in English. Additionally, the company is introducing several new features to enhance the user experience based on feedback received during the testing phase.

New Enhancements to LinkedIn’s AI-Powered Job Experience

Explore Careers with Your Jobseeker Coach

One of the new features allows users to explore careers more efficiently using the Jobseeker Coach. Users can navigate and find job opportunities easier and faster by simply asking in plain language.

For example, a user might ask, "Find me a remote marketing job in Detroit that pays at least $110,000." This feature simplifies the job search process by providing tailored results that match the user's specific criteria.

Review Your Application and Resume in Seconds

LinkedIn is also introducing a feature that allows users to receive immediate feedback and personalized suggestions for their job applications and resumes. This tool analyzes specific job posts and offers tailored recommendations to enhance the user's application materials.

By doing so, job seekers can ensure their resumes and cover letters are optimized for each position they apply for, increasing their chances of landing an interview.

Cover Letter Assistance

To further simplify the job search process, LinkedIn now offers personalized cover letter recommendations. Users can review and edit these suggestions to create compelling cover letters that stand out to potential employers. This feature saves time and ensures that job seekers present themselves effectively in their applications.

Personalized Practical Advice from Industry Leaders

LinkedIn has started testing the ability to provide personalized practical advice instantly from industry-leading business leaders and coaches on LinkedIn Learning, powered by AI.

The responses are trained by experts and offer a blend of insights tailored to each learner's unique needs. This feature allows users to receive expert advice and guidance as they navigate their career paths.

Expanded LinkedIn Learning Courses

In addition to these new features, LinkedIn is adding 60 new courses each week to its existing library of 22,000 LinkedIn Learning courses. This includes over 800 AI courses designed to help users build AI literacy and advance their skills in deep learning.

Premium subscribers, along with all learners, can now ask for summaries of content, clarify certain topics, or get examples and real-time insights while watching LinkedIn’s new courses.

For instance, users can ask, "Can you simplify this concept?" or "How does this apply to me?" to receive immediate, personalized responses that enhance their learning experience.

The Bottom Line

LinkedIn’s expansion of its AI-powered job experience and the introduction of new features demonstrate the platform's commitment to enhancing the job search and learning experience for its users.

By offering personalized tools and expert guidance, LinkedIn aims to make the job search process more efficient and effective for Premium subscribers worldwide. These new enhancements are set to provide users with the support they need to succeed in their careers.
