We all know how easy it is to build a friend list on social media — all it takes is just one click! But it feels like trying to hold up your end of the bargain in building a professional network on LinkedIn. Furthermore, trying to do it right is a bit like trying to climb Mount Everest. It would help if you learned to build and maintain a network to survive in the ever-competitive business landscape.
Well, guess what? The platform has grown, bringing out LinkedIn AI Premium and rolling out some pretty rad new features that cut through all the clutter. AI (Artificial Intelligence) can be used to put networking on autopilot for everyone!
LinkedIn’s AI Premium will help you do better at work! It makes your job search more targeted by suggesting jobs that are a good fit for your skills and experience. You’ll also get a better idea of who is looking at your profile, which will help you tailor your approach and make stronger connections. Plus, AI enables you to stay competitive by giving you information about the pay ranges for different jobs.
It’s not just about jobs, though. It also helps you save for the future by giving you access to courses on LinkedIn Learning that are tailored to your career goals. With data-driven insights, you can improve your networking skills, get your dream job, and keep your skills up to date as you work.
Benefits of LinkedIn AI Premium Features
Linkedin Generative AI
Imagine trying to write a friend request to someone cool at school, but your mind goes blank. That’s what it can be like on LinkedIn when you want to connect with someone important. The new AI feature is like your own personal message-writing assistant! It checks out your profile and the profile of the person you want to connect with, and LinkedIn generative AI suggests a message that mentions things you have in common.
Maybe you both attended the same college or loved the same video game! This gives you a great starting point, and then you can add your personal touch to make the message extra friendly.
Catching Up with Old Friends
The new “Catch Up” tab is like a sorcerer’s wand of LinkedIn AI Tools, which magically opens up conversation threads with those you’ve ignored for quite some time. It leverages AI to surface these old relationships. It gives you valuable nuggets about what you may have in common with someone, such as a common interest in an industry or a recent accomplishment they shared in their profile. The “Catch Up” tab also prompts the conversation: congratulating your old contact on an accomplishment, offering to put them in touch with someone in your network who might be good for them, and more.
AI for LinkedIn: Professional Networking
According to a recent survey cited by LinkedIn, 85% of professionals plan to change employment by 2024.
Nearly 25% of respondents to a LinkedIn poll said they dedicate 6–10 hours a week to networking, indicating the platform’s recognition that creating and sustaining a professional network is a significant time investment. AI algorithms are used in the “Grow” page to assist users in managing connections and discovering new, relevant contacts. It offers tailored recommendations using the “People You May Know” function.
LinkedIn AI Tools: Enhancing, Not Replacing
While these new features are great, you are irreplaceable! Treat them like assistants, not robots. The AI gets you closer to writing messages and finding them, but it is still up to you to be kind and act genuinely interested. The most robust connections are made when you are genuine and have actual conversations.
Concluding Remarks
Even with that broadening of job descriptions, these new AI bits are the tip of the iceberg. Networking on LinkedIn will only get easier as technology gets even more brilliant. Be careful; these are starting points, not for abuse by contacting every recruiter, but for entrepreneurial outreach to real people who can help you get that successful career. So, get out there, start connecting, and watch your professional network grow like a supersized sunflower with LinkedIn AI Premium!
