I can’t remember but are you able to just put freelance/contract for the time being? I was freelanced for 3 months that turned to contract for another 7 months and I think I waited until after 4 months to even update my LinkedIn. Feel like the gap isn’t that big of a deal to employers but I could be wrong
Update your LI. Contract work is nothing to be shy about, especially in this gig economy world. But as a few others have said, maybe frame it as “freelance” - shows that you’re hustling.
You can update it now whenever. Mark it as contract if you’d like. But they say it’s easier to find a job when you’re employed, so why not?
I’m month 5 & my LI still isn’t updated. I know too many ppl laid off right after it was updated. When recruiters reach out I just send them my latest resume. Freelance for the last two years all remote. Updated LinkedIn is overrated. Especially, if you’re freelance.
