Hi,

Has anyone put in a different industry on LinkedIn than the one they last worked in? I'm unemployed. I'm looking to change or broaden the industries from Educational Administration Programs. I'm not sure if putting in a different industry other than the last one I worked in is considered dishonest or a good marketing strategy. If it's a good marketing strategy, I'm not sure which industry to select since I'm applying to jobs across different industries. Thank you for your insights.

Hello,

Thank you for sharing your question. It’s completely understandable to think about how best to position yourself, especially when transitioning from Educational Administration Programs into broader opportunities. Adjusting how you present your industry on platforms like LinkedIn can be a strategic move, as long as it aligns with your skills, experience, and the roles you’re targeting rather than misrepresenting your background.

When I was navigating a similar period of uncertainty, I connected with a professional who helped me refine how I presented my experience and identify the most suitable opportunities, which eventually led me to secure my role as a flight attendant.

If you’re interested in getting support on how to position your profile effectively and choose the right industry focus, you could consider connecting with a career support group through alfredpetersonhiringteam/gmail/com for tailored guidance.

Wishing you clarity and confidence as you take the next steps in your career journey.
