In this article, we are going to talk about the Location and Industry fields of your LinkedIn profile.
The Location & Industry fields tell your LinkedIn profile’s viewers where you are located in this world and also the industry you operate in.
Although these might seem like very simple fields to fill in, many people still enter incorrect information in them (especially the industry field). What you enter in these two fields must be to the point and must include the correct data. That said, please pay very close attention to the industry drop down list.
In order to Edit your location and industry fields on your LinkedIn Profile:
- Click the pencil icon on the right of your Industry in order to enter the “Edit” area for your Location and Industry field.
- From the drop lists select your Country, your Postal code if you wish and then your Industry.
- When you are finished with your selections, click “Save”.
You have to be very specific about your Industry in order to be found by the right people (via the advanced search results when a user performs a search relating to your location or industry).
That’s it! Simple right?
