To add a promotion on LinkedIn, follow these steps:

1. Go to your LinkedIn profile and scroll down to the "Experience" section.
2. Add your promotion as a new position within the same company:
   • Click the plus (+) icon next to the Experience section.
   • Select "Add position."
   • Enter your new job title, company name (must be the same as your previous role), location, and start date of the promotion.
   • Check the box to mark the end date of your previous position to show you have been promoted.
   • Write a description highlighting your new responsibilities, achievements, and skills in the promoted role.
   • Optionally, toggle on "Notify your network" to inform your connections about your promotion.
3. Save your changes to update your profile with the promotion.

This method keeps your profile organized by showing your career progression clearly under the same employer

. You can also choose to edit your existing experience entry by updating the title and dates, but adding a new position is preferred to reflect the promotion distinctly

. When writing the description for your promotion, use action verbs and quantify your achievements to make your profile stand out, such as "led a team," "increased efficiency by 20%," or "managed a $500K budget"

. This approach ensures your promotion is clearly visible and celebrated within your LinkedIn network.
