LinkedIn Profile Tips

By Alison Doyle, About.com Guide

When you're job searching and don't want your employer to know that you're updating your LinkedIn profile, it's a good idea to turn off your activity broadcasts. Here's how to set your account so your updates don't show in your feed:

• Click: Settings (Under your name on top right of page)
• Click: Turn on/off your activity broadcasts (under Privacy, center of page)
• Click to uncheck box: Let people know when you change your profile, make recommendations, or follow companies
• Click: Save

You can also change who can view your activity feed. Options include:

• Everyone
• Your Network
• Your Connections
• Only You

If you change it to "Only You" nobody will be able to view your updates.
