   Step 2: Click on your name

   ,, Don’t add the city/state info.
   
   The name is good enough.
   
   It will display a list of filtered results as you type.
   
   Sometimes, when there is no business such as what was typed completely, you’ll see a line called “Add (Business name)”.
   
   Click the correct business. , Then, click "Add Job" when you finish. ,,,,, Don’t add the city/state info.
   
   The name is good enough.
   
   It will display a list of filtered results as you type.
   
   Although most business’ have listings, some don’t so you’ll need to clear these misconceptions up.
   
   Also, there’s another edit box underneath that initially displays “Where did you go to high-school” that you can add your high-school” ,, as well as many other major accomplishments in your education. ,,, You might have to scroll down a bit, to find it.
   
   Click the “Edit” button at the top right of this box. , Type into the box your current city, and if it doesn’t come up by the end, your state.
   
   Only use map-cities.
   
   In Facebook’s mindset, there isn’t a state of “Confusion” (if your city is Brilliant, and your state is Confusion, don’t type Brilliant Confusion, because neither will be found and you will later have added an incorrect unverifiable place.
   
   It will accept almost any city/state that is located globally too, but it may take a bit more typing, with the provinces and such.
   
   So be forewarned. , Type the location, like as you initially did for “Current City” above filling in the proper information here too. ,, You may have to scroll down a bit, to locate the box. ,, Add some text that defines who you are in real life. ,, You may have to scroll down a bit on the page, to locate the box. ,, Type or select the appropriate responses to the "I am (gender)" box, Birthday (individual drop-down boxes), Relationship status (single, married, etc.), any and all languages you may be able to proficiently speak (in the box labeled “Languages”), Religion type, and Political Party (if any).
   
   Even though Facebook wasn't designed to promote a person’s romances, there’s another box that can help you find a “soul-mate”.
   
   You can click the appropriate response to “Interested in”, if you’d like. ,, You may have to scroll down a bit on the page, to locate the box. ,,,,,, There’s even a Networks feature that can be selected here, that can help you join back up with your college networks (as Facebook originally had when Facebook originated). ,, You may have to scroll down a bit, to locate the box. ,,, If a quote runs over two lines, don’t press ↵ Enter.
   
   Only allow these lines/quotes to run on until they finish. ,
