LinkedIn’s new AI features make job hunt easier, and can also write resumes, cover letters for you

LinkedIn, the Microsoft-owned professional networking site, has announced some new features that use artificial intelligence (AI) to make finding a job easier. These AI-powered tools are available to premium users, no matter if they are actively looking for work or not.
One of the new features is a smarter job search. Instead of typing in simple keywords, you can now ask for exactly what you want, like "find me a marketing job that's fully remote and pays at least $100,000 a year." LinkedIn's AI will then show you jobs that match your request, making it quicker to find the right opportunities.

Another helpful tool is the AI assistant which can help you with your job applications.If you upload your current resume, the AI will read it and give you suggestions on how to make it better for the job you want. It can tell you what experiences to highlight or even rewrite parts of your resume to make it stronger.
The AI can also write cover letters for you. It looks at your background and the job you're applying for, then creates a personalised letter to go with your application. This can save you a lot of time and effort, especially if you're applying to many jobs at once.
LinkedIn says these tools are just a starting point to help people who have trouble writing about themselves or don't know where to begin. In the future, the AI might be able to do even more, like handle most of the application process for you.
These new features are part of LinkedIn's bigger plan to use AI to assist its 1 billion users worldwide. Last year, they started testing AI tools to help job seekers and companies find the right match.
With so many people using LinkedIn to find work, these AI-powered tools could make a big difference in helping people get hired faster. And since many companies already use AI to sort through job applications, having an AI-assisted resume and cover letter might give you an advantage.
