Why Should You Update Your LinkedIn Profile With a New Job?
Even if youβre excited about your new job and donβt have any plans to leave soon, updating your profile is essential to keeping your personal brand strong. You never know when you might need your network or if thereβs aΒ job youβll loveΒ that comes across your path.
βLinkedInβs all about the ever-changing algorithm and this does impact your online presence,β Matthew Warzel, certified professional resume writer and former Fortune 500 recruiter, says. βBy updating skills, jobs, certifications, etc., you are helping your profile stay βactive.β Active profiles will rank higher on recruiter searches in regular search mode, LinkedIn Navigator, and LinkedIn Recruiter.β
Even if youβre not looking for a new role (especially if you just got one you like!), adding your job to your profile can help you build your network and be visible to recruiters when the time does come for another job search.
