Where LinkedIn stores your saved jobs

Your saved jobs on LinkedIn live in a dedicated section you can reach from your profile menu. Click your profile photo in the top right corner, then select "Saved" from the dropdown menu. This takes you to a page that shows everything you have bookmarked — jobs, articles, posts, and people. The jobs are grouped separately, so you can see only the positions you have saved without scrolling past other content.

If you are on mobile, the process is nearly identical. Tap your profile photo at the bottom of the screen, then tap "Saved." You will see the same saved items, organized the same way. The mobile version is actually faster for this task because the saved jobs section loads without extra clicks.

Key Takeaways

  • Your saved jobs appear in the "Saved" section of your profile menu, accessible from your profile photo in the top right corner.
  • LinkedIn groups all your saved content together, but you can filter to show only jobs by clicking the "Jobs" tab within the Saved section.
  • You can organize saved jobs into folders by clicking the folder icon next to each job title, which helps if you are tracking positions across multiple companies or roles.
  • Saved jobs stay in your account indefinitely unless you remove them, so you can return to them weeks or months later.

Using the Jobs filter to see only positions

Once you are in your Saved section, you will see tabs across the top: "All," "Jobs," "Articles," "Posts," and "People." Click the "Jobs" tab to filter your view so you see only the positions you have saved. This is the fastest way to find a specific job if you have saved a lot of different content types.

The jobs appear in the order you saved them, with the most recent at the top. You can scroll through the entire list, or use the search box at the top of the page to search by job title, company name, or location. If you saved a position for a software engineer role at a specific company three months ago, searching for the company name will pull it up immediately.

Creating folders to organize saved jobs

If you are saving jobs across multiple industries or roles, folders help you keep track of what you are looking for. When you hover over a saved job, a folder icon appears on the right side of the listing. Click it to create a new folder or add the job to an existing one. You might create folders like "Tech Companies," "Remote Positions," or "Companies I Have Applied To."

Once you have created folders, you can switch between them using the filter menu on the left side of your Saved section. This is especially useful if you are job hunting across different fields or comparing positions in different locations. You can move a job from one folder to another at any time by clicking the folder icon again.

Removing jobs you no longer need

To delete a saved job, hover over it and click the bookmark icon (it will be filled in, showing the job is saved). The job disappears from your list immediately. You can also click the three-dot menu next to a job and select "Remove from saved" from the dropdown. Either method works — use whichever feels faster to you.

Removing a job does not affect your application history or any messages you have sent to the hiring manager. It only takes the position off your saved list. If you change your mind later and want to see the job again, you can search for the company on LinkedIn and save it a second time.

Searching across all your saved jobs at once

The search box at the top of your Saved section searches through all your saved jobs by default. Type a job title like "product manager" or a company name like "Google" to find positions matching that term. You can also search by location — typing "New York" will show all saved jobs in that area, regardless of when you saved them.

If you have created folders, the search will look across all of them unless you have selected a specific folder first. To search within a single folder, click the folder name on the left side, then use the search box. This narrows the results to only jobs in that folder, which is helpful if you have hundreds of saved positions across multiple categories.

Why saved jobs sometimes disappear

A saved job may vanish from your list if the company closes the posting. LinkedIn removes jobs from the platform once the hiring period ends or the company takes down the listing. You will not see a notification when this happens — the job simply stops appearing in your saved section. This does not mean you did anything wrong; the position is no longer available on LinkedIn.

If you saved a job and cannot find it later, check whether you removed it by accident, or whether the company closed the posting. You can search for the company name to see if they have posted other open positions. If you had started an application or sent a message about that job, that history remains in your LinkedIn account even after the job listing disappears.

Accessing saved jobs from a job listing page

You do not have to go to your Saved section to manage a saved job. When you are viewing a job listing on LinkedIn, the bookmark icon appears in the top right corner of the job details. If the job is already saved, the bookmark will be filled in (solid). Click it to unsave the job, or click an empty bookmark to save a new one. You can also click the bookmark to add the job to a specific folder without leaving the job listing page.

This is the quickest way to save jobs as you browse. You can save a position, read the details, then move on to the next one without navigating back to your Saved section. Many people find this approach faster than saving jobs and organizing them later.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I share my saved jobs with someone else?

LinkedIn does not have a built-in feature to share your entire saved jobs list with another person. However, you can share individual job listings by clicking the share icon on the job details page and sending the link via message or email. The person you send it to can then save it to their own account.

Do saved jobs expire or disappear after a certain time?

Saved jobs do not expire on your account. They stay in your Saved section indefinitely unless you remove them or the company closes the posting. You can return to a job you saved months or years ago and it will still be there, as long as the company has not taken down the listing.

What happens to saved jobs if I delete my LinkedIn account?

If you delete your LinkedIn account, all your saved jobs are deleted along with it. LinkedIn does not transfer saved jobs to another account or provide a way to export them. If you think you might delete your account, take screenshots or notes of any jobs you want to remember.

Can I sort saved jobs by date posted or salary?

LinkedIn does not offer sorting options for saved jobs. They appear in the order you saved them, with the most recent at the top. To find jobs by other criteria like salary or posting date, you can use the search box to filter by job title or company, then review the results manually.

Why can't I find a job I saved last week?

The most common reason is that the company closed the job posting. LinkedIn removes listings once the hiring period ends. Less commonly, you may have accidentally removed it from your saved list. Check your Saved section and search by company name to confirm whether the posting is still active on LinkedIn.
