Earlier in the week I was asked about how to make sure your personal profile is linked to a particular company entry for a role. Issues can arise when there are multiple companies with the same name or the company page was added or amended after you put your personal profile together.
Here are the simple steps:
1) Select Edit profile in your personal profile
2) Scroll down to the profile entry that you are interested in; in the top left, next to your job title, there will be a blue pencil for editing – click it.
3) At the side of the company name there should be a blue “Change Company” – click it.
In the search box enter the name of the company that you want to referenced. If there are choices then select the correct one (see note below).
4) After you’ve selected the entry the link is made. After editing the company name will become active when cursor is rolled over it and clicking will take you to the company entry.
5) Now repeat for any other profile entries that have an incorrect or missing company name.
Notes:
1) If the company is currently trading and there is no company page then unless you can influence someone to add an entry then just leave the text without selecting an offerred entry.
2) If the company is no longer trading and doesn’t have an company page, your only choice is leave the company name that you entered.
