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.
