How to Use LinkedIn’s AI Tools to Grab Your Dream Job: Step-by-Step Guide

LinkedIn first launched its AI-powered tools to optimize its profiles in November 2023. It added several AI suites, including reading and writing tools, recruitment pages, and company pages. LinkedIn’s AI features are currently available only for premium members. But even if you are not a premium member, you can still use LinkedIn’s Sales Navigator or Recruiter for free for 30 days. With Sales Navigator or Recruiter, you can experience the full range of AI capabilities.

In this article, we will explain how you can use AI-powered tools on LinkedIn to optimize your profile and land your dream job.

Here’s a step-by-step guide:

AI-powered job search

In order to use AI tools on LinkedIn, first make sure that your profile is up to date to attract recruiters. Looking for a job on LinkedIn can be daunting sometimes, but with AI tools you can just give a prompt to search for ‘find me an office-based writing job in Delhi that pays over Rs 60000 per month.’ When LinkedIn registers this prompt, it will automatically suggest job listings based on your search. You will also see some suggestions for questions that you have asked and will get AI-powered answers in return.

AI to Review Your Application

The foremost thing that comes to someone’s mind when he or she is looking for a job is whether my resume is really the best. Or am I properly selling my achievements and experience on LinkedIn? Here’s your answer. The AI bot in LinkedIn will suggest where you can improve your profile and your application. You will also see AI prompts with gold stars when browsing jobs. The AI will give more prominence to the qualities and experience you’ve got that are most relevant to a position.

Profile Writing

The AI on LinkedIn will check your profile or take a look at what you have already written, and then it will make suggestions for improvements. It’s up to you whether you want to incorporate those suggestions in your profile or not. The Generative AI on LinkedIn can also be incorporated into your messages while exploring job possibilities. The company has given an option of ‘Write with AI link’ that’s built inside the message interface. Once you click on that option, it will give a selection of suggested prompts to get started.
