LinkedIn has been at it again with even more changes being released to LinkedIn Profiles. Some of the features you were accustomed to may have move or changed with the recent update. Below is a list (straight from LinkedIn) of features that may have been affected and how you can find them.
- The top navigation bar disappears as you scroll down the page – To see it again, move your cursor to the top of the page.
- Inbox – Click the Inbox icon at the top right of your homepage to access your messages and invitations.
- Skills and Expertise – Move your cursor over any of the skills listed on a profile and click the title of the skill.
- LinkedIn Today, Influencer Posts, and Channels – Move your cursor over Interests at the top of your homepage and select Influencers.
- Your Company Page – Move your cursor over Interests and select Companies. Then search for your Company and click its name in the dropdown list.
- Groups – Move your cursor over Interests and select Groups. You’ll see the list of groups you are a member of.
- Recommendations – Go to your profile page and scroll down to the Recommendations box.
- Students and Alumni – Go to LinkedIn Alumni at //www.linkedin.com/college/.
- Signal – Go to http://www.linkedin.com/signal or click the Search icon at the top of your homepage and then click Updates in the top left.
The new layout and navigation paths are more clean cut and intuitively clear. However, with any change it will take some time to get used to.
