How do I express this promotion in my CV/LinkedIn?

[Cloo]

So, very nicely, my manager has created a senior editor role for me, basically as I've been there a whole and she wanted me to have somewhere to 'go' from it, and it starts tomorrow. At the mo, the extra responsibilities are fairly minor, mostly in terms on mentoring a new editor and shadowing my manager a bit for stuff so I can take over when she's not around.

I'm not sure what to do when changing my CV/LinkedIn to reflect this, given the role is effectively not changed much. Do I just change my job title? Put 'Editor March 2013-June 18', 'Senior editor July 18 -' ? and adapt slightly my job description/achievements below

That's easily done on CV, I suppose, harder on LinkedIn without making it look like a whole new job, but maybe I can just describe my Editor role very briefly and use the longer version under Senior Editor?

My CV and linkedin profile are almost completely the same. A bit redacted on LinkedIn but that's it.

On a traditional CV you could handle this like

Chester Perry Organisation 2013 - current

Senior Editor 2018 to present, duties A, B, C

Editor 2013 - 2018, duties D, E, F

Other organisation XXXX - 2013

blah blah

No idea how I'd do it on Linkedin - I did try it and left within a week.

You can do it on LinkedIn, I did it when my job title changed a few years ago. I think there is a way to add a new role under your current employer.

Thanks, will look into that. Need to wait until it's officially announced tho, which means waiting for HR to update system.

As far as any future employer is concerned, it is a whole new job. Why undersell yourself?

Through the medium of dance

I once worked with a chap who was adventurous and did all sorts of things, including a class on interpretative dance. He portrayed one of the project meetings using interpretative dance once, and it was hysterically good. I still miss working with him.
