How to Edit Work Information on Facebook

Many people use Facebook not just as a social networking tool, but as a professional networking tool as well. Facebook provides an easy way to keep your trimmed-down resume visible to all other Facebook members. Editing your work information on Facebook is a simple and important process, especially if you're looking for a job.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Go to the Facebook website and log in to your Facebook account.

2. Look for "Profile" tab at the top of page. Click on the "Edit" link next to the "Profile" tab.

3. Click on the "Work" tab on the next page. This is where you will enter your updated work information into Facebook.

4. Fill in your new work information, including employer and position. In the "Description" field, give a small summary of your duties and responsibilities. If you're using Facebook as a resume tool, it may be a good idea to highlight some work-related accomplishments in this field.

5. Add another job by clicking the "Add Another Job ..." link at the bottom. You can use this to add a second job or to keep a resume-style list of past and present jobs. If you want to include work information about past and present jobs, uncheck "I Currently Work Here" from your previous job and then use the "Add Another Job ..." to add your current job. Be sure to fill in the time periods you held each job.

6. Choose "Save Changes" to add the new work information to your Facebook profile.

Tips & Warnings

• Start by entering work information for previous jobs you held before you even had a Facebook profile and work your way to the present.
• Facebook can be a great way to give potential employers information about your work history and about your personality. However, check your profile over to make sure you do not have any information, pictures or group memberships you do not want a potential employer to see.
