Everyone has a story that led them to their career path, and now you can highlight yours. With this feature, you can add a Cover Story to showcase your specific skills and background while highlighting your personality. If you are looking for a job, this video feature is a great way to shine.
If you are looking to hire someone, this feature allows you to get a personal look into prospective employees’ lives, something you don’t get with just a resume.

LinkedIn isn’t just great for job seekers. It’s the premier platform for companies to find qualified candidates fast. In fact, it’s the platform we use to find new talent.
But how do you stand out as a company in such a fierce market? There are a few things you can do to outshine other employers.
- Have a detailed “about us” section. Be sure to answer basic questions like where you are based, what you offer and your company values.
- Post meaningful content highlighting your brand. Keep it light-hearted and entertaining to draw prospective employees’ eyes.
- Create a showcase page. This allows you to maintain a LinkedIn-style blog where you highlight your brand daily.

Why many new EVs are already outdated
You’d think a brand-new electric vehicle would be the latest and greatest, huh? Not always. Lots of them are already falling behind the curve.
I pita the fool: Amazon just launched its own food brand: Amazon Saver. They say it’s to fight high grocery prices, but it’s really meant to take on Target and Walmart brands. Most Amazon Saver items are under $5. For example, a pound of smoked ham is $3.79, but dang … there are a ton of preservatives in there. Be sure to check the ingredients.

🧥 MagSafe for coats: Jony Ive, designer of the iPhone, has invented a new button.

From bacteria infestations to moldy factory vents and even incorrect dosing, the recall reasons vary. The top offenders are eye drops, cough medicines and constipation treatments. Check your house for any.
#BlueCollar: That’s the hashtag Gen Z influencers are using to show young Americans that blue-collar jobs can be a goldmine. Take construction gigs, which pay newbies more than entry-level accounting jobs — and minus the student debt.

Billion-dollar listing: U.S. investors are lining up to bid on a freshly legislated TikTok. A top contender? Former treasury secretary Steven Mnuchin. If a sale happens, don’t expect China to give up its algorithm — whoever buys it will get the brand but probably not the tech behind it.
