How to Add a Promotion on LinkedIn & Notify Contacts

Sharing your promotions on LinkedIn helps you establish yourself as a credible and trustworthy professional in your industry. By doing so, you're not only increasing your visibility but also building trust and credibility with your network.

Updating your LinkedIn profile

When you land a new promotion, it's essential to update your LinkedIn profile to reflect your new role. To get started, log in to your LinkedIn profile and navigate to the Experience section. You'll find a handy little plus icon that allows you to add new experiences. Click on it and fill in the required information, including your title, company, location, and start date. Don't forget to set an end date for your previous position to keep your timeline accurate.

• Customize your headline and description to give your network a glimpse into your new role.
• Update your industry and skills to ensure they align with your new position.
• You can also add promotions to the same company, to show your career development within that organization.

Notifying your network

When you've got something to celebrate, like a new promotion, it's natural to want to share the news with your friends and family. On LinkedIn, your professional network is just as important, and notifying them about your achievement can bring some amazing benefits.

• Share your success story with the world by toggling the "share with network" option, making it easy for your contacts to see your update. • Craft a compelling LinkedIn post that showcases your accomplishments and expresses gratitude to those who've supported you along the way – it's a great way to start a conversation and build meaningful relationships.
