Your Facebook profile is often the first place people look when they want to know more about you — and your workplace information is one of the most important details you can add. Whether you want to let friends know where you work, build your professional credibility, or simply keep your profile up to date after starting a new job, adding your workplace to Facebook is a quick and straightforward process.
Adding a workplace to your Facebook profile lets you display your current job, job title, employer, location, and the dates you worked there — all visible on your profile’s About section. You can also link your employer directly to a Facebook Page if your company has one, giving your friends and connections a direct way to learn more about the business.
In this complete guide, we walk you through exactly how to add your workplace on Facebook in 2026 — step by step on both mobile (Android and iPhone) and desktop — including how to add multiple workplaces, how to edit or update existing workplace information, how to delete a workplace entry, how to link your workplace to a Facebook Page, and how to control who can see your workplace details.
Why Add Your Workplace to Facebook?
Before diving into the steps, here are a few reasons why keeping your workplace information updated on Facebook is worthwhile:
Professional visibility: Adding your workplace lets people who know you professionally find and connect with you more easily on the platform.
Profile completeness: A complete Facebook profile with accurate work information makes a stronger impression and helps Facebook’s algorithms surface your profile in relevant searches.
Networking: Former colleagues, classmates, or professional contacts searching for people who work at a specific company can find you more easily when your workplace is listed.
Linking to your employer’s Page: If your company has a Facebook Page, linking your workplace entry to it gives your network a direct connection to your employer’s official presence — useful for business owners and professionals who want to showcase their company.
Personal record keeping: Your Facebook profile can serve as a simple record of your work history, similar to a social media CV.
How to Add Workplace on Facebook Mobile (Android and iPhone)
The mobile method is the same for both Android and iPhone with only minor differences in where the menu icon sits on the screen.
Step 1: Open the Facebook app on your phone. Make sure you are logged into your personal account.
Step 2: Tap your profile picture in the bottom right corner of the screen (iPhone) or tap the three horizontal lines (☰) in the top right corner and then tap your name/profile picture (Android) to go to your profile page.
Step 3: Once on your profile page, tap the Edit profile button (usually shown directly under your cover photo or bio area).
Step 4: Scroll down through the edit options until you find the Work section. This section may also be labelled Workplace or Add work depending on your version of the app.
Step 5: Tap Add a workplace or the + (plus) icon next to the Work section.
Step 6: A new screen will appear with fields for your workplace details. Fill in the following:
- Company — type the name of your employer. As you type, Facebook will suggest matching Pages and companies. If your employer has a Facebook Page, select it from the suggestions to link directly to their Page. If not, simply type the company name as plain text.
- Position / Job Title — enter your job title or role at the company (e.g., Marketing Manager, Software Developer, Teacher)
- City/Town — add the city where you work (optional)
- Description — add a brief description of your role or responsibilities (optional)
- Time Period — set the start date of your employment. Check the I currently work here box if this is your current job. If it is a past employer, set both a start date and an end date.
Step 7: Choose your audience — who can see this workplace entry on your profile. Tap the audience selector and choose from:
- Public — anyone on or off Facebook can see it
- Friends — only your Facebook friends can see it
- Only Me — only you can see it (useful for private record-keeping)
- Custom — specify exactly who can and cannot see the information
Step 8: Tap Save to add the workplace to your profile.
Your workplace information will now appear in the Work and Education section of your Facebook profile’s About tab, and may also appear under your name on your main profile page depending on your profile layout settings.

Step 4: In the left-hand sidebar of the About section, click Work and Education.
Step 5: Under the Work section, click Add a workplace.
Step 6: A form will appear with fields to fill in:
- Company — type your employer’s name. If they have a Facebook Page, it will appear as a suggestion — click it to link your workplace to their official Page.
- Position — your job title or role
- City/Town — the location of your workplace (optional)
- Description — a brief description of your responsibilities (optional)
- Time Period — set your start date and check I currently work here for your current job, or set start and end dates for past positions

Step 8: Click Save changes to add the workplace to your profile.
How to Add Multiple Workplaces on Facebook
Facebook allows you to add multiple workplace entries — useful for listing your full work history, current side projects, freelance work, or multiple employers if you hold more than one position.
Simply repeat the steps above for each additional workplace. There is no limit to the number of workplace entries you can add to your profile.
Your entries will be displayed in the Work and Education section of your About tab, typically sorted with your most recent position shown first.

How to Link Your Workplace to a Facebook Page
One of the most useful features of Facebook’s workplace entry is the ability to link it directly to your employer’s Facebook Page — or to your own business Page if you are self-employed or a business owner.
When you link a workplace to a Facebook Page, visitors to your profile can click your employer’s name and go directly to that Page, giving them a quick way to learn more about where you work.
How to link during setup:
When adding or editing a workplace entry, in the Company field, begin typing your employer’s name. If the company has a Facebook Page, it will appear in the dropdown suggestions below the text field. Click the correct Page name from the suggestions to link to it.
A small Facebook Page icon will appear next to the company name in the suggestions list, distinguishing Pages from plain text entries.
If your employer’s Page does not appear:
If your employer does not have a Facebook Page or the Page does not appear in the suggestions, you can still add the company name as plain text — it simply will not be linked to a Page.
For business owners:
If you own a business and have a Facebook Page for it, you can list yourself as working at your own business by linking the workplace entry to your Facebook Page. This displays your Page name on your personal profile, giving your connections a direct link to your business’s Facebook presence.
How to Control Who Sees Your Workplace on Facebook
Your privacy settings for your workplace information are fully under your control. You can set different visibility levels for each individual workplace entry.
Audience options:
- Public — your workplace is visible to everyone, including people who are not your Facebook friends and people who are not logged into Facebook
- Friends — only your confirmed Facebook friends can see the workplace entry
- Friends except — your friends can see it, except for specific people you exclude
- Specific friends — only specific friends you choose can see the entry
- Only Me — the entry is only visible to you (invisible to everyone else)
- Custom — build your own audience combination
To change the audience for an existing workplace entry:
Follow the steps to edit the workplace entry (described above) and change the audience selector before saving.
Important: If your profile’s overall About section visibility is set to a more restricted level than your individual workplace entry, the more restrictive setting applies. Check your overall profile privacy settings if your workplace is not appearing as expected.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
The Work section is not showing on my profile
If you cannot find the Work section in Edit Profile or in the About tab, try accessing it through the desktop version at facebook.com → About tab → Work and Education. The mobile app occasionally reorganises its Edit Profile layout with updates. If the section still does not appear, update your Facebook app to the latest version.
My employer’s Facebook Page is not appearing in suggestions
Type the company name slowly and wait a moment for suggestions to load. If the Page still does not appear, the company may not have a Facebook Page, or the Page name may differ from the company’s common name. Try searching for the company on Facebook separately to find the exact Page name, then type that exact name in the Company field.
My workplace is not showing on my profile after saving
Check your audience settings — if you set visibility to Only Me, the entry will not be visible on your public profile. Also check that your profile’s overall Work and Education section visibility is not set to Only Me in your broader privacy settings.
I want to show my workplace under my name on my profile (not just in About)
In some Facebook layouts, your current workplace appears directly under your name and profile photo on your main profile page. Whether this appears depends on your profile layout and Facebook’s current design for your region. To maximise visibility of your workplace, ensure it is set to your current position (with the I currently work here box checked) and the audience is set to at least Friends or Public.
Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. There is no limit to the number of workplace entries you can add. Simply repeat the add workplace process for each employer you want to list.
How do I link my workplace to a company Facebook Page?
When adding your workplace, type your employer’s name in the Company field. If they have a Facebook Page, it will appear in the dropdown suggestions. Click the Page name to link to it.
Can I hide my workplace from certain people on Facebook?
Yes. Each workplace entry has its own audience selector. You can set it to Friends, Only Me, Custom, or any other option to control exactly who sees it.
How do I edit my workplace on Facebook?
On mobile: Edit profile → Work section → tap the pencil icon next to the entry → make changes → Save. On desktop: About tab → Work and Education → hover over the entry → click the pencil icon → edit → Save changes.
How do I delete a workplace on Facebook?
Edit the workplace entry (as above) and scroll to the bottom of the edit form to find the Delete or Remove option. Confirm the deletion to remove it from your profile.
Will my friends be notified when I add a workplace?
Depending on your notification settings and the audience you set for the workplace entry, Facebook may generate a life event or profile update notification visible to your friends in their news feed. To add a workplace quietly without notifying others, set the audience to Only Me before saving, then change it to Friends or Public afterward.
Can I add a self-employment or freelance entry as a workplace?
Yes. In the Company field, type your own name, your business name, or the nature of your freelance work (e.g., “Freelance Graphic Designer” or “Self-Employed”). Link it to your business Facebook Page if you have one.
Is it safe to add my workplace to Facebook?
This depends on your privacy settings and your personal comfort level. Setting your workplace visibility to Friends (rather than Public) limits who can see this information to people you have already connected with. Consider your audience and use the privacy controls available to set a comfort level that works for you.
Why is my current workplace not showing prominently on my profile?
Make sure the I currently work here box is checked for your current position. Also confirm the audience is set to at least Friends (not Only Me) so it is visible to others. The position shown most prominently on your profile is typically your most recent active workplace entry.
