Hate it or love it, the popular professional networking platform remains a top resource for job seekers and recruiters alike. Step up your job search by identifying why your LinkedIn profile is failing you and how you can utilize the latest LinkedIn features to change your job search outcome on the social platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>New LinkedIn Features; Who Dis?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If it\u2019s been a minute since you\u2019ve logged in, you might not recognize the new and improved LinkedIn design. Sure, we all hate it when a website you use gets updated, and you have to re-learn how to navigate it and best use it (Or maybe that\u2019s just me), but when it comes to LinkedIn, it\u2019s worth it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2017 has been a year of solid UX and <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.linkedin.com\/2017\/june\/29\/new-linkedin-features\">functional updates<\/a> to the list of LinkedIn features. While keeping tabs on updates for your social platforms doesn\u2019t sound like fun, it is crucial to stay up-to-date on changes to the LinkedIn features so you can ensure the recruiters and hiring managers you are looking to attract can easily find your profile. And ensure that when they do, they are impressed by what they find.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So what\u2019s new this year? LinkedIn has completely revamped their site design and made it easier for users to <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.linkedin.com\/2017\/january\/19\/how-to-make-the-most-of-the-new-linkedin-search\">search across all categories<\/a>, set up job alerts, understand who is viewing your profile and how they got there, explore connection histories, view and engage with content in your newsfeed, quickly reply to messages, and customize notification settings. Some of these changes may seem minor, but one or more of them is likely the culprit behind why your LinkedIn profile is failing to provide you with the job prospects you\u2019re hoping to attract and find.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why Your LinkedIn Inbox Has Dried Up<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The LinkedIn inbox drought you are experiencing doesn\u2019t have to be permanent. Check out the reasons below to find out why those recruiter messages have stopped coming in and why you\u2019ve noticed a sudden drop in users viewing your profile.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mondo.com\/blog-linkedin-features-improve-linkedin-profile\/\"><strong>Continue&nbsp;reading&nbsp;&#8220;Why Your LinkedIn Profile is Failing You&#8221; at Mondo.com<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Identify why your LinkedIn profile is failing you and how you can utilize the latest features to change your job search outcome<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":1686,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[109],"tags":[],"post_function":[],"post_audience":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-1685","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-recruiting"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.2 (Yoast SEO v27.4) -
