Now a Microsoft division, #LinkedIn has rolled out silent changes and you may not have seen this latest one.
The Real Deal
This is a heads-up about access by Microsoft to your work experience from your LinkedIn personal profile. “Allow Microsoft Word to display work experience descriptions from your profile to users of Resume Assistant” is the new feature, available to Microsoft 365 users, outside the LinkedIn platform.
LinkedIn has automatically added your personal experience to Resume Assistant. You will find your LinkedIn dashboard by clicking “Me” on your top black menu bar, then choosing “Settings & Privacy” to control your preferences.
How to find this setting?
You’ll see it located in Privacy | How others view your LinkedIn activity, as shown below.
Are you okay with this method to download your experience for use by Resume Assistant?
If not, you’ll need to modify your privacy settings and change the permission to “No.”
If you’re okay with this setting, no action is required on your part.
What’s your take on Microsoft’s silent roll-outs? Please share what you think in a comment, ok?
