How often should one update their LinkedIn Profile picture? I just realized mine is about 11 years old, from my senior year in college. This is cool, right? lol

Definitely update it but you don’t need to overthink it. Just get a recent enough picture so that when someone meets you in person there won’t be a weird moment where they realize you don’t actually look like your profile pic anymore.

You’ve been in the exact same position for 11 years?

OP is asking about their profile picture, not their job position.

Mine was about 8 years old taken when trying to get an internship in college as well. I recently just disabled it so I’m now faceless

I’d say if you look significantly different, then change it. If not, no worries.

I would change every 3 years or each time you get a major promotion

If you are any way involved in sales of your business services, it should be updated quarterly at a minimum to keep in line with new/emerging items.

Haha no worries.

If you’re interviewing them it should look like you look now. No surprises to a hiring manager or recruiter.

i just changed mine for the first time since 2017. 🤷‍♀️

Mine is probably 10-11 years old too. I’ll change it eventually but it’s not a priority and I don’t have very many pictures of myself much less any that would be appropriate for a professional headshot.

One of my senior managers is a boomerang and told me she was laid off when she was 7 months pregnant about 10 years ago. I think she was a senior or manager. She was in a specific group and everybody was laid off. It wasn’t performance based.

Got hired 3 years ago- newly created staff accountant role with the plan that it’ll go into a senior and then manager role. 1.5 years in I get a title promotion to senior, told I’ll get more duties, start supervising AP, and get monetary promotion to match next year. Got way more work, but nothing else promised within that year. Told next money bump would be manager role (no raise for senior still) and I need to take on more and start supervising AP. Again, seeing nothing…time to leave?

Do private companies start their close after the month actually ends?
