    Thanks for the great info! How do you change the order of your occupations right under your name to reflect your main job? I added new work with another blog, so that is what people see on my profile instead of “Professional Blogger at BraiFoggles.com”. I think it has to do with the dates of your occupations.

      Hi Connie,

      You may have to delete the one you want to show and then add it again. That could change the order. If it doesn’t, then it uses the dates of your occupations and you won’t be able to control it.

      If deleting and adding it back doesn’t work, look for the LinkedIn group on LinkedIn and ask there. If they can’t get you an answer let me know and I’ll ask directly for you.

        Hi Gail, I didn’t delete my position that I want to show as present because I have recommendations and thought they might disappear. I did use the arrow to “drag to reorder this current position, but that didn’t work either.

        I’d appreciate if you could ask for me. My profile is http://www.linkedin.com/in/connieroberts

        Thanks so much.
