Frequently asked questions
Why should I choose my profession(s)?
Adding your preferred profession(s) helps you get discovered in the industry. It also depicts what you want your known for profession to be on your page in IMDb and IMDbPro, so decision makers in the industry can find you and reach out to you or your reps for potential opportunities or your fans can learn about your preferred profession.
Your profession selection orders your filmography display on IMDb and IMDbPro accordingly, thereby displaying your credits based on your preferred professions first followed by all other professions.
How do I edit the order of my profession(s)?
To edit and set your profession information, go directly to the profession control page.
To do this, click the edit pencil icon on your claimed name page next to your profession(s). From here, select "Use your choices" and tap on the slot you want to update.
Now select the profession from the options provided and save. If you want to go back to IMDb generated professions, simply select "Let IMDb decide" and click or tap save.
