Tell your best story on LinkedIn
Unlike the old days, we don't only interact with one another in person anymore. Companies, recruiters, and job seekers are all staying connected via social media - and they're using an ever-expanding collection of online tools to do so.
Technology allows us to keep up to date with the latest job opportunities, to connect with recruiters and potential employers, and to form relationships with fellow job seekers. Since building professional relationships is no longer just about scheduled interviews and formal meetings, LinkedIn has created a feature to help: LinkedIn Stories.
What are LinkedIn Stories?
The new Stories feature is LinkedIn's own tool for staying in touch and sharing content online. By using LinkedIn Stories, you can post images and videos up to 20 seconds in length, and they last for 24 hours. You can add text over the image or video content and even add stickers and music.
Stories are available to every LinkedIn user, so you can keep up with what your connections are doing and share your own Stories. They provide insight into everyday moments, documenting your professional journey and keeping you more closely connected with your network - all great ways to engage with an audience and maintain your online personal brand.
How do LinkedIn Stories work?
Please note that LinkedIn Stories are only available in the LinkedIn mobile app. On your mobile device, you'll see the Stories feature at the top of the screen:
