How to Hide Employment on Facebook

Your current employer appears at the top of your profile.

Some Facebook members use the site to network with other people in their profession, while others would rather keep their employer discrete. If you are in the latter group, hiding your employment details from other people on Facebook takes just a few seconds. Either hide the information from everyone not on your friend list or from specific members on your friend list. When you change the privacy for your employment information, the changes take effect right away.

Instructions

1. Log in to your Facebook account and click on the "Account" link in the top right corner of any page on the site.

2. Choose "Privacy Settings" from the "Account" menu.

3. Click on the "View Settings" link, located in the "Connecting on Facebook" section.

4. Click the gray icon to the right side of the "See your education and work" section to expose a privacy menu.

5. Select "Friends Only" from the privacy menu to hide your employment details from all nonfriends. Click "Customize" if you want to hide the information from a specific friend. In the "Customize" pop-up window, enter your friend's name in the "Hide this from" section and click "Save Setting." To hide your employment from everyone, click "Customize" and select "Only Me" from the drop-down menu in the "Make this visible to these people" section and click "Save Setting."
