Can You Hide Your Job or School on The League

Mostly, yes. The League lets you hide all of your past jobs, all but one of your education entries, and the workplace on your current job. The one thing it will not let you hide is your current job title, which always stays visible. You control each entry with the eye icon next to it.

Here is the full picture.

Past jobs can all be hidden. Every one of them, if you want. Education can be hidden down to a single entry, so at least one school stays on your page. Your current workplace, meaning the company name, can be hidden. Your current job title cannot.

So the least The League will show about your career is one job title and one school. Everything else is your choice.

Each work and education entry has an eye icon next to it. Tap the icon to toggle whether that entry shows.

It takes a few seconds per entry, and a hidden entry can be switched back on the same way. Go through the whole list once, decide on each entry, and you are done.

If you verified with LinkedIn, The League pulls your work and education from your LinkedIn account. That is where most men's long list of old jobs comes from.

If you edit something on LinkedIn later, such as updating your title after a promotion, tap Refresh LinkedIn in The League. That updates what The League shows to match your LinkedIn.

Keep what you show accurate. The point of hiding entries is choosing what to show, not changing the facts. A title that does not match your real job is exactly the kind of thing that makes a first date go badly when it comes up.

The League puts real weight on work, and it uses career and education as part of how it recommends people to each other. The current title is the piece it insists on keeping.

In practice that is not much of a loss. A title on its own rarely gives away where you work. If yours is unusual enough that it does, hiding the company name will not help much, and that is worth knowing before you go live.

Most men should hide more than they think.

Past jobs almost never help. They make your page longer and tell a woman nothing about what you are like now. Hide them.

For education, keep the one entry that says the most about you. That is usually your highest degree or the school you are most connected to, not every course you ever took.

For the current workplace, there is a real choice. Showing it gives a woman something concrete to ask about. Hiding it gives you privacy, and pairs well with The League's effort to hide you from coworkers. If you work somewhere small, or somewhere people would recognize, hiding the name is the safer call.

Do not hide so much that your page goes empty, though. The League's recommendations use career and education, and its League Score rewards members whose accounts are complete. Hiding old jobs is fine. Leaving a woman with nothing but a title and a blank About Me is not. Whatever you take out of the work section, put something better into the rest of your page.

If your title is impressive, lean on it less. A doctor or a founder who leads with the title gets picked for the title, by the women least interested in the man behind it.

The job line places you. It is not what makes a woman want to write to you.

A title tells her roughly what your days look like and not much else. What gives her something to reply to is your About Me, and the best way to talk about work there is to skip the title and describe what the work does to your week. "I inspect bridges, so a good part of my week happens on a ladder above a river" says more than "structural engineer" ever will.

a dating coach's advice for any dating page applies here. Ask what the most attractive true story about your life is, and show that. Hide the entries that do not serve that story, keep the ones that do, and give her one concrete detail she can ask you about.
