How to List Consulting Work on Linkedin

Updated on:

Use this interactive demo to learn how to add freelance consulting work to your LinkedIn profile.

Quick summary

To list consulting work on LinkedIn, navigate to the Experience section of your profile and add a new role with the title Consultant and employment type set to Self-employed or Contract. Fill in your company name, write a results-focused description, and save the entry to make your consulting experience visible to recruiters and connections.


Steps

  1. Go to your LinkedIn profile page.
  2. Scroll down to the Experience section and click the + icon to add a new entry.
  3. Select Add role from the options presented.
  4. In the title field, choose Consultant or Freelance Consultant, and set the employment type to Self-employed or Contract from the dropdown menu.
  5. In the Company or Organization field, type your own brand name or select Self-employed.
  6. Scroll down to the Description field and outline what you did and the results you achieved.
  7. Fill in any other required details and click Save to publish the experience to your profile.

📌 Why this matters

Properly listing consulting and freelance work on LinkedIn is essential for independent professionals who want to attract new clients, appear in recruiter searches, and build credibility. LinkedIn's Experience section supports self-employed and contract employment types, meaning consultants can represent their work just as clearly as full-time employees. A well-structured consulting entry — with a defined title, employment type, and results-focused description — significantly improves profile discoverability and professional positioning. This demo matters because many consultants underrepresent their work on LinkedIn, missing out on inbound opportunities simply due to incorrect or missing profile data.
