For those of you who have double dipped, do you update your LinkedIn afterwards? I always list each gig as a separate job but I’ve never double dipped for a significant period of time. Of course I wouldn’t do it until the contracts were over but I’m wondering if future hirers would view it positively or negatively if they saw someone worked two gigs at the same time. Thoughts?

I never understood the 2 mile long, single company listing thing. I simply group them all together under the Freelance ACD heading.

I have done it to show timelines/how I didn’t have major gaps between gigs. Also, recruiters often search for candidates by past companies so having top shops on your work history helps with visibility. I also list under the freelance umbrella and I’ll add short gigs and smaller shops in there. But for the people who only have the grouped list without timelines, I assume they’re hardly working or they were short stints. May or may not be true, just my perception.

Just don’t put the gig on your LI, pretty simple solution.

I just pick one to list on my LI. But my double dip is usually at a smaller shop so I don’t care about leaving it off.

People who list every freelancing gig they do on their LinkedIn are clowns. Just say you freelanced during that time, you don’t need every spot listed out.

Only a clown would give this advice.
