Use this interactive demo to learn how to remove your current work position on LinkedIn Sales Navigator.

‍

To remove your current work position on LinkedIn, follow these simple steps:

‍

Click on your profile and select 'View Profile'.
Scroll down to the 'Experience' section where all your work history is displayed.
Click on the pencil icon.
Find your current work position that you want to remove. Hover over the job listing, and click the pencil icon.
On the job editing screen, scroll to the bottom and click 'Delete experience'.
Click 'Delete'.
Once the job is deleted or marked as past, it will no longer appear as your current position on your profile.

📌 Why this matters

Removing your current position gives you control over how prospects and connections perceive your availability and career status. Whether you're between roles, transitioning careers, or simply want to maintain privacy about employment changes, this prevents awkward conversations about outdated information.

Your LinkedIn profile becomes a strategic asset rather than a liability when timing matters. Sales professionals particularly benefit from managing this perception, as an unclear employment status can impact credibility during outreach and relationship-building efforts.
