How To Add Pronouns To LinkedIn

Yes, you should. It normalizes the process, poses little risk, and really improves everyone’s safety. In honor of #PrideMonth, I encourage anyone working to become stronger allies to update their pronouns to their LinkedIn and email signatures.

To access your profile, tap or your profile image in the lower right corner. After that, tap Edit profile, then Pronouns. Toggle this setting on or off by tapping or next to Show to followers only.

To make this name visible to all of your connections, click ‘Visible to your Connections.’
In the Pronouns section, click the drop-down arrow.
Choose between She/Her, He/Him, and They/Them. Alternatively, you can use the Custom option to specify a pronoun that LinkedIn does not recognize.

she/her/hers (used by someone who might identify as a female) they/them/their (used by someone who does not firmly identify as male or female, often known as “gender-neutral,” or when referring to multiple people)

Because LinkedIn is presently rolling out the option for members to add their pronouns to their profile to better reflect their real identities in select locations. Pronouns are significant because they are utilized to communicate one of our most profoundly felt characteristics: our gender identification.

Here’s a good headline to follow.
(Title) at (Company) – Helping USP (Unique Selling Proposition)
(Title) | (Company) | (USP)
Title + Company + benefits of working with you | keywords related to your niche | personal touch |

If at all possible, avoid using the pronoun. Substituting the words “the” or “a” for the pronoun problem is one option. Only use “he or she” or “his or her” as an alternative if absolutely required; revising the sentence nearly always eliminates this possibility.

LinkedIn is the world’s largest online professional network. LinkedIn can help you locate the ideal job or internship, build and deepen professional relationships, and learn the skills you need to advance in your career.

Having a LinkedIn account also allows you to conduct research on organizations, interviewees, recruiters, and hiring managers, which is beneficial prior to submitting applications and attending interviews. Having a profile is, in short, a good idea.

In general, any LinkedIn members who have checked in to LinkedIn.com or our apps can see your whole profile. Under the Profile privacy area of the Settings & Privacy page, you may manage what shows on your profile, network notifications, and profile privacy preferences.

LinkedIn members always come first. We are very concerned about your safety and privacy. All LinkedIn accounts are already safeguarded by a set of automated checks meant to prevent illegal sign-in attempts and protect your data.
