After 6 months I was offered (and started) a temp to hire position, so after 3 months I’ll be sure if this will become permanent, should I update my LinkedIn profile or wait?

Has anyone successfully landed a job out of state?
I'm in the final stages of possibly landing a job at a phenomenal company out of state, in an area I'd love to move to. My SO and I would rent out there but we need to sell our house first. His job is flexible so no issue there and we don't have kids. Luckily we live in a desirable area where the houses…

I was made redundant last December, just after returning from maternity leave, and it was a tough time with a little one at home.
Since then, I’ve been actively applying for jobs but rarely hear back. When asked why I’m looking for a new job in interviews, I haven’t always been sincere, giving different reasons. Recently, I decided to be upfront and told an interviewer that I was made redundant. But their response thre…

Can you clarify what you have on your LI profile now? If it shows that you're not working, I always recommend jobseekers fill in holes if they can.
Personally, I think it's better to show you're working - especially if you are - that to make it look like you've been out of work for six months.
I'm not sure what you're thinking the downside of listing this position on your profile would be - do you have it on your resume?
You can list it as a contract role so if recruiters or hiring managers are looking at your profile, they can tell you're probably looking for a permanent position.
You can list it as:
PROJECT MANAGER
ABC Company - Contract
November, 2023 to Present
Please let me know if you have any questions.

Honestly? Until that position actually is a permanent role I would off on updating my profile.
