How to keep your LinkedIn Job Search Quiet While Employed

How to keep your LinkedIn Job Search Quiet While Employed

Now that the busiest time of year for hiring is upon us, it is time to repost this entry from last year.

Whether you’re already active on LinkedIn with a 100% complete profile or you’re just getting started, the first thing to do is to change your privacy settings so that your activity is not automatically broadcast to your network in the news feed and so your network cannot see your activity feed on your profile. Here’s how:

1. Once signed in to your account, click on your name in the upper right-hand corner of the screen and click on “Settings” in the dropdown menu
2. Find “Profile” in the bottom section of this “Settings” page and then “Privacy Controls” to the right
3. First, click on “Turn on/off your activity broadcasts.” Un-check the box that says “Let people know when you change your profile, make recommendations, or follow companies.” Click the “Save changes” button
4. Next, click on “Select Who Can See Your Activity Feed.” Set this to “Only You.” Click the “Save changes” button
