what to post on linkedin after accepting a job offer

Congrats, you accepted a job offer! This is such an exciting time and there are so many ways to celebrate, but let's start with LinkedIn.

LinkedIn is where you should share important career milestones and this one is monumentally important.

We'll also give you a few examples of what to post on LinkedIn after accepting a job offer.

 

Step 1: Change your Headline

You do not need to wait until the first day of your job to update your headline. 

Since there is typically a few weeks between accepting your offer and starting it, go to your profile and edit your headline to: "Incoming [your position name]".

Once you actually start your job, then you can remove the "incoming" from your headline.

 

 

Step 2: Write a Post Announcing That You Accepted a Job Offer

Now that you've updated your headline, it's time to share the good news with your LinkedIn family! Before you check out the examples from our accelerator graduates, here's the key points you want to hit in your post:

  1. Make the announcement! State that you have accepted an offer, which company you'll be working at, and what that company does. You can also add a brief line about what you'll be doing
  2. Say thanks to the people who helped you get there. Show your humility and thank the people who helped you along your journey. The most important thank you should be for the company that hired you. Some examples of reasons to thank them are for "an incredible interview process" or "a warm welcome".
  3. Express your excitement for the future and wrap on your post on a positive note!

 

 

Step 3: Respond to comments

This will likely be your most liked and commented post on LinkedIn ever! Be ready to respond to comments and engage with the people reacting to your post.

The more you engage with your post, the higher chances you have of LinkedIn promoting your post to a larger audience.

 

 

Congratulations on getting hired! Now that you've celebrated with an incredible post on LinkedIn after accepting your job offer, don't forget to congratulate yourself for working hard to get where you are now!
