Hey everyone it's Melinda Thomas and I
just wanted to give you a really quick
tip for updating your LinkedIn profile
so I'm gonna share my screen with you
right now there you go alright so here
we are on my LinkedIn profile and this
is where you would normally arrive when
you log in at least this is where I come
to which is where my newsfeed is and so
what you want to do in order to turn off
any notifications to your network to
your connections that you have updated
your profile you want to go over here to
where it says Me and click on that which
will give you this menu then click on
settings and privacy when you come over
here it's kind of easy to miss it but
privacy is actually not highlighted so
it's easy to go hmm where as where is it
where is it it's not here so you want to
look at this top menu here and go to
privacy and then when you scroll through
that go down to How Others See Your
LinkedIn Activity and then Sharing
Profile Edits.  So as you can see it says
you can choose where whether your
network is notified about profile
changes I have it already clicked to
No, but I'll show you if yours says Yes
you're gonna want to click on Change and
this is where you would close it you
would change it right here so what that
will do is prevent your network or
anyone you're connected to you and
LinkedIn from receiving a notification
that you changed your LinkedIn title or
your LinkedIn address or you know
there's just any number of little tiny
things that you might want to go in and
personalize and customize that your
network doesn't need to get you know ten
notifications about so make sure that is
turn to NO especially if you're going
in and doing a lot of changes to your
profile your network doesn't need to
know about
but what they do need to know about and
you may want to go back and change that
setting if you've been given a reward
and you're adding that to your profile
that might be a really nice way to
subtly let everybody know that you
have added an award to your profile but
other than that I think that probably
keeping that setting at know is really
the safest so I hope that's helped let
me know if you have any questions bye
