For example, if you move to a new city or start a new job

or even find an interesting article that's relevant to your field,

you might share that in a status update.

To post a status update, click Home at the top of the window,

then click Start a post. You can then add text, photos, links, and more.

For now, let's add some text and a link.

If you click on this drop down menu, you can choose who gets to see your update.

Once you're done, click Post.

Keep in mind that you probably shouldn't share anything too personal on LinkedIn.

Remember that it's not like Facebook and Twitter,

so keep your posts professional and career-focused.
