To announce your laid off in a LinkedIn post or not? I know we have to keep it positive. But I'm obv not thrilled about it so will anything come from it or is it pointless?

Ehhh I put it off for a long time because I was embarrassed but at the very least people knew I was looking. Sometimes people will then tag you in posts they see. So sorry, it’s tough.

Do you have to announce you’re laid off? Can you just say you’re excited to announce you’re looking for your next opportunity and open to freelance or fulltime?

For sure!

I did it and the comments were super supportive, which felt nice but not a thing came from it. If I could do it again, I would:
1. Be way more specific in what I was looking for in my next role (I wasn’t at all). Type of role I wanted, but also what I was willing to do (contract, relocate, pivot etc)
2. Would have reached out to key people that commented/shared/liked my post

Go with your gut. I’ve been at the job search longer than I like to think about and the old “it’s all about connections” advice seems to be a thing of the past (has gotten me maybe two interviews and I’ve had a lot of referrals). Good luck!

I have never mustered the strength to do it. Preferring to reach out to my network directly rather than posting it on LI, but that’s a personal preference

I debated it and put it off as a last resort if I still haven’t found anything in months.

Other options: just be open to work to recruiters, and announcing that you’re available for new opps without the layoff part.

On the flip side, if a place is hiring and laying off irresponsibly (eg. people who were laid off after less than a year there) imho they should be called out for it.

I have a friend who was let go a few months into his first job after college (reason: the manager felt like he wasn't grasping the training content to the level that was expected). He's worried about if he should put the experience on his resume anyway, if he does will recruiters ask why he had such a short time at this place, and what will recruiters think if he explains he was let go. What are some things recruiters expect from candidates in this situation to continue considering them?

Anyone else finding it very difficult to get any enjoyment out of account management these days? Any coping tips? I feel like being an account person is especially difficult in the COVID era since so much of what we do is manage communications, ensure the team is set up well etc. None of this feels particularly fun alone staring into the void of Zoom all day ... but the same pressure is still there. I feel like I spend every week counting down to the weekend which kinda sucks.
