A month ago LinkedIn improved the search, have you enjoyed the changes? Today they just rolled out all kinds of new features that I think you’re going to enjoy. They really want you to hang out longer on their social network.
In order to reach this goal, they’d decided to become ‘more social’, if you will. The new features they’ve added include the ability to upload:
- pictures and videos
- resumes
- and presentations
At the moment these features are free, but it could possibly open up a way for LinkedIn to monetize the storage space.
These features will give professionals and job seekers more functionality. Imagine being a real estate agent and being able to upload pictures of the houses you’re listing. On the flip side, this would be a great way for a job seeker to add some imagery to the work they’ve done in the past. Maybe you’re a speaker and you want to give your connections access to the slides you just recently presented on. The opportunities are endless really.
How do you see professionals using these new ‘social’ features?
