Unlock Your Job Search Potential with LinkedIn’s New AI-Powered Tools

Searching for a job can feel really challenging, especially when the competition is tough. In February 2024, Statistics Canada reported 41,000 new jobs were added. Despite this growth, the unemployment rate still increased by 0.1 percentage points to 5.8%, as more people entered the labour force seeking employment. 

This week, LinkedIn announced several new features and product enhancements aimed at making it easier and more efficient for job seekers to put their skills and experience centerstage and focus their energy on finding the best job for them.  

  • AI powered job search is now available to all Premium subscribers in English worldwide. Jobseekers can discover relevant and tailored job opportunities based on their skills, interests, and preferences and assess how well they’re a fit for a job in seconds.  
  • Conversational Job Search: search for jobs in the same way you’d ask a question, using plain language to find a role that’s the best fit for you. 

Around half of professionals on LinkedIn say writing resumes and cover letters are a painful part of the job search. LinkedIn’s new AI-powered resume feedback and cover letter drafts help ease the experience of applying to roles where your experience and skills align. 

  • Resume Review: Get tailored recommendations on your resume to help save you time and showcase your most relevant skills for the job.  
  • Cover Letter Assistance: With one easy click, we can help you draft a compelling cover letter. By utilizing AI, you can save time, make sure relevant information is included, and increase chances of making a positive impression.
