How to announce a new job on LinkedIn

Open with your role and company, then add one detail about what you’ll work on or who helped you get there. Two or three sentences are enough. Share the news when your start is confirmed and your employer is ready for it to be public.

A short announcement

I’m joining [Company] as a [Role]. I’ll be working with the [Team] on [Project or area]. Thanks to everyone who offered advice along the way.

After time between jobs

Include the length of your search if it adds something you want to share. A specific thank-you can make the post personal.

After 39 days between jobs, I’m joining [Company] as a [Role]. Thank you to the friends who read my résumé and practiced interviews with me. I’m looking forward to working on [Project or area].

Count from your last day at work to the day you got the new job, then download an image with the result if you’d like to include it. The dates you enter stay in your browser.

Update your profile and publish your post

Add your new role in the Experience section. LinkedIn may also notify your network about the change, depending on your sharing settings. If you want to announce it in your own words, write a separate post and choose who can see it. Edit your Experience section · Manage profile update notifications
