In this guide, we will cover how to update promotions on LinkedIn, making them visible to everyone in your network. We will also discuss how you can do it in the best way while discussing the benefits of doing so. Let’s get started!
May I update my promotion on LinkedIn?
It is possible to let your network know about your job promotion on LinkedIn. There is no limit to what you can update about, regardless of your job profile. Whether you are an HR professional or an animation artist, you will be given equal weightage when it comes to this, as well as equal freedom. There is no set time to update about your promotion on LinkedIn. It’s possible to do it at midnight as well.
How do I update my promotions on LinkedIn?
Downloading the LinkedIn app from either the Play Store or the App Store is the first step. This will simplify the process for you and keep all the information, work, and notifications in one place for the future.
Log in to your LinkedIn profile. Click on your profile picture (top left).
Navigate to ‘Experience’ and press the pencil icon.
Make changes to your current role or add a new position for promotion.
Make changes to the title, description, and start date.
Decide if you want to notify your network.
Tap Save.
Why should I update my LinkedIn promotions?
By updating your promotions on LinkedIn, your network can follow your professional work more closely, which can lead to better opportunities in the future. This assessment may increase the client’s interest in your profile. Additionally, it aids in observing your work progression over the past few years that you have made changes to your profile. It’s similar to looking back at your professional years with a single eye, including your recent promotion.
Using the internet to update promotion
If you’re not using LinkedIn on your phone, you might need the help of the internet. The steps to inform your network about your promotion will be slightly different if you do that. Let’s examine them.
Navigate to your profile picture or name in the top-left corner.
Go to the ‘Experience’ section by scrolling down.
To edit the job you were promoted to, click the pencil icon (edit).
Select ‘Add Position’ instead of modifying the current one. Please provide the updated job title, new responsibilities, and any other relevant information.
Set the start date for the promotion and then ensure that your previous role is marked as ended.
To notify your network, switch ‘Notify network’ to ‘On’ before saving.
