LinkedIn’s new AI features can write your cover letter, review resume & more

Business and employment-focused social media platform LinkedIn started testing its AI-powered job experience late last year with select Premium subscribers. The test showed strong results, with over 90% finding it helpful to assess if a certain role is a good fit, identify the best way to position themselves, or just learn more about the potential employer.

Now, LinkedIn is bringing this experience to all Premium subscribers starting in English globally. Also, the company is adding more features to its AI-powered job experience based on the feedback.
