For recruiters, hiring managers, HR, or anyone with past experience — if I’ve been laid off (startup financial problems) and I’ve set my LinkedIn to “open to work,” should I also post something that says I’m looking? I saw someone post their resume + open to work and asked people to share with their network, and while I’m not willing to be quite that vulnerable, it made me wonder if there’s value in a post like that.

I’ve seen more posts recently where my connections are sharing that they are Open to Work. I believe LinkedIn has a template where you can make an official-looking post. Personally, I think this should suffice. However, I would still mention that you are open to connecting with people, maybe reviewing your resume 1-on-1, etc.

I think the value in this post is that others can share your post with their networks as well!

It might help since you’d have more exposure. How much? I don’t know. But posting puts you on peoples feed, updating your profile picture with #opentowork doesn’t. The more people that know the more people that might help you. And recruiters love to post that they helped people because it makes them look good. As they say, closed mouths don’t get fed.

I make it a point to leave up that I’m actively looking from when I went to a previous position to my current position. No reason to change it.

When interviewing, do you initiate follow up with the recruiter or wait for them to reach out. I always follow up with a thank you directly to the interviewer, but I’ve waited for the recruiter to connect with me on next steps. (I haven’t interviewed in 8+ years.)
