Is it worth posting an “I was laid off” post on LinkedIn or Facebook? How do you stand out in a sea of very similar posts?

I did the LinkedIn post, got hit up by a company the next day, spent a week interviewing and now have a new job. DO IT!

On LinkedIn, typically the posts are seen by your direct network and if they comment then their network will see it. I’ve seen a lot of those posts but it can’t hurt.

I would also suggest reaching out to people in your network directly. You never know who knows who or asking for warm intros.

Lead with a check-in, how are they doing. How’s their family. Then you can talk about what you have been working on and it’s unfortunate but you were laid off. Ask what resources they may be able to provide: resume review, referral etc.

Also apply for unemployment if you haven’t already.

You should post on both - it will only help your chances and there is no shame in it. Best of luck!

Lots of people are laid off and there’s few jobs. So ask yourself — what’s your point: sympathy or something else? Why make your bad news someone else’s burden or a stressor. Tell your family — you can likely spare the worldwide public post.

You are, of course, not seriously trying to turn a modest jk into an object lesson about the importance of audience engagement in marketing? Nah, I didn’t think so.

To OP: it can’t hurt, might help, and you can always go the next step by mining your LI network and asking them to help spread the word. Put it this way: you have 100% better shot of getting a gig if people know about it. And I’ve seen some very big industry names facing similar circumstances use LI to let the world know they are looking.

What kind of producer?

Broadcast production, mainly focused in advertising with additional experience in TV

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out.

I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️
