You got the job! Now it's time to update your network without sounding like you're bragging. Here are the best templates for announcing a new role on LinkedIn.
"I’m happy to share that I’m starting a new position as [Job Title] at [Company Name]! I’m looking forward to working with this great team and diving into [mention 1 thing you will be doing]."
"After an incredible [Number] years at [Old Company], I’m thrilled to share that I’ve joined [New Company] as [Job Title]. Thank you to everyone at [Old Company] who supported my growth. I can't wait to start this new chapter with the team at [New Company]!"
"I’m excited to announce that I’m officially pivoting into the [New Industry] space! I’ve just started as a [Job Title] at [Company Name]. It’s a big shift, but I’m incredibly excited for the challenge and grateful to the team for the opportunity."
"I am so incredibly relieved and excited to announce that I have accepted an offer as [Job Title] at [Company Name]. The job market has been incredibly tough, and I want to sincerely thank everyone who reviewed my resume, offered referrals, or just checked in on me."
"I’m happy to share that I’ve been promoted to [New Job Title] at [Company Name]. I’m so grateful to my manager and my team for their continued support, and I'm excited to take on this new challenge."
Wait until you have actually started the job (usually your first or second week). Never post before your background check clears and you have officially had your first day.
Yes! Tagging your new company and a few key team members (if you’ve met them and feel comfortable) increases the reach of your post and shows enthusiasm.
Not at all. LinkedIn is designed for this exact purpose. Keeping the tone grateful rather than boastful ensures it is received well.
