What happened?
• LinkedIn announced on Jan 19, 2017, that new desktop version is biggest change since the site’s inception
• Designed to be:– In line with the app– Simpler navigation– More intuitive usage

In reality…
• More functions are hidden• Need to dig through or click on seemingly unrelated areas• Many popular features were eliminated• Less functionality on free accounts
![Page 6: LinkedIn Changes for 2017](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070600/58ce5b751a28ab2f268b4aa7/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

What the icons mean
![Page 12: LinkedIn Changes for 2017](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070600/58ce5b751a28ab2f268b4aa7/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
How well am I doing?• Pay attention to profile views and views on posts
![Page 13: LinkedIn Changes for 2017](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070600/58ce5b751a28ab2f268b4aa7/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Everyone gets to see the past 90 days - unless… you chose to not reveal your own profile information on your free account
![Page 14: LinkedIn Changes for 2017](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070600/58ce5b751a28ab2f268b4aa7/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
All about “Me”• Can click to view or edit your
profile• HERE is where privacy settings
are • Can actually find the Help Center
![Page 15: LinkedIn Changes for 2017](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070600/58ce5b751a28ab2f268b4aa7/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Make it “Work”• HERE are your Groups!• ProFinder is a service to
engage with professionals for contracts or special projects – anyone can join
![Page 16: LinkedIn Changes for 2017](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070600/58ce5b751a28ab2f268b4aa7/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
PROFILE CHANGES
![Page 17: LinkedIn Changes for 2017](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070600/58ce5b751a28ab2f268b4aa7/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Sweeping changes• Everyone (including you) will have to click on “See More” to
view your full summary or details for work history that is NOT the current job
• Your most recent articles, activity, and posts are visible on your profile
• Sections now subdivided into 3 categories: Background, Skills, and Accomplishments
![Page 18: LinkedIn Changes for 2017](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070600/58ce5b751a28ab2f268b4aa7/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Make an impact• Since only the first few sentences are seen without clicking,
they must be awesome attention-grabbers.
![Page 19: LinkedIn Changes for 2017](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070600/58ce5b751a28ab2f268b4aa7/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Chopped Experience?• Current or most recent job shows all
the details• All of your work history is there AND
is still searchable on LinkedIn• However, viewers need to commit to
the click to see the additional details
• (By the way, if someone downloads the PDF, they DO get all of the details.)
![Page 20: LinkedIn Changes for 2017](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070600/58ce5b751a28ab2f268b4aa7/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Adding new sections
• No more pretty “tiles” to click
• Look for the bar on the right
• Categories condensed
![Page 21: LinkedIn Changes for 2017](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070600/58ce5b751a28ab2f268b4aa7/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
That’s an Accomplishment?These include:• Publications• Certifications• Courses• Projects• Honors & Awards• Patents• Test Scores• Organizations• Languages
• (scroll to see them all)
![Page 22: LinkedIn Changes for 2017](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070600/58ce5b751a28ab2f268b4aa7/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
SEARCHING: WHERE DID EVERYBODY GO?
![Page 23: LinkedIn Changes for 2017](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070600/58ce5b751a28ab2f268b4aa7/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Major changes (and complaints)• One of the biggest loss of functionality – NO MORE Advanced
search features• NOW funneled through Boolean search terms• Some filters available– But previously common ones are now on Premium accounts only
![Page 24: LinkedIn Changes for 2017](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070600/58ce5b751a28ab2f268b4aa7/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Starting a search
• Everything starts from the same search box• Hit “enter” to get the different categories
![Page 25: LinkedIn Changes for 2017](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070600/58ce5b751a28ab2f268b4aa7/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
![Page 26: LinkedIn Changes for 2017](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070600/58ce5b751a28ab2f268b4aa7/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
BIG tip: Boolean searches
![Page 27: LinkedIn Changes for 2017](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070600/58ce5b751a28ab2f268b4aa7/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Search Filters• Click on “down” arrows to see all the
features• Not as precise as the old Advanced
Search• Can save these search parameters• If you want more filters, you must pay
more
![Page 28: LinkedIn Changes for 2017](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070600/58ce5b751a28ab2f268b4aa7/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Where’s my friends?

My Network• Hey! Where’s the
pending invitations I sent?
![Page 32: LinkedIn Changes for 2017](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070600/58ce5b751a28ab2f268b4aa7/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Invitations I sent• Need to look at the person’s PROFILE to see it – no more
listing of all the invites I sent
![Page 33: LinkedIn Changes for 2017](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070600/58ce5b751a28ab2f268b4aa7/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Finding a specific person• Default: Recently added• Drop-down allows it to be sorted
by first or last name• The “search connections” creates
a SEARCH and takes you to that screen…
![Page 34: LinkedIn Changes for 2017](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070600/58ce5b751a28ab2f268b4aa7/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
