Hello and welcome back on this Sunny Sydney Saturday. It’s time for me to share with you some of the exciting new 2021 LinkedIn features that have rolled out for job seekers and all who wish to build their personal brand on LinkedIn. As my past 4 podcast episodes have featured interviews with some really interesting professionals and now it’s time to get back to providing advice to help you boost your career!

The last 4 episodes have featured the amazing Cayla Dengate in ep 213, LinkedIn News Editor in Australia, Kevin D Turner in ep 214, the US based brand strategist extraordinaire, Ram Castillo in ep 215, host of the Giant Thinkers podcast and talented design director, and the wonderful Phil Strasser in ep 216, author of Your Meat Mate cook book, talented chef and entrepreneur.

I discussed some of the new LinkedIn features for Job Seekers in 2020 (ep 204) which included:

1. The Voice Pronunciation feature

2. The Resume Builder feature

3. The Job Interview Preparation feature and

4. The “Open to Work” banner feature

Did you try any of them out? I’d love to know what you think, so share your comments below.

Since June 2020, the LinkedIn product managers have been super busy creating even more amazing features for 2021, and updating existing features for the better. Today I cover:

1. The extended number of characters in posts you share

2. LinkedIn Live streaming to your profile banner

3. The Cover Story video intro feature

4. And Creator Mode and what that means for YOU

Here is the LINK to my LinkedIn article on the 2021 new LinkedIn features with videos and images to explain in even greater detail.
