Pros and Cons of Announcing Job Changes on LinkedIn

Perhaps you didn’t know that you have the option to announce or not. Many of my clients prefer not to announce job changes or other changes they have made to their profile.

Yet, there can be benefits to sharing these changes, especially a change of job or position. Recently, I was [...]
