Swooped’s Post

Unsolicited advice... It's important to note that if you like, comment on, or reshare a post related to a new job in your LinkedIn connections' feeds, the algorithm may display this activity and potentially reveal your job search to your current employer. Just looking out for my fam. Thanks!! #advice #jobseeking #jobsearch #opentowork #opentoconnect

In case you're curious, the other "lingual" in bilingual is Spanish.

I'm seeing lots of posts about whether people should opt to have the #opentowork banner on their profile, and in the grand scheme of things, I don't know why this is causing such debate. Does it make you look desperate? No. Can it cause issues with your current employer? Yes, if they aren't aware you're looking. Is it shown to everyone? Yes, but there's an option to highlight your availability to those with a recruiter profile (be mindful this can include your current employer though). A simple solution...if you want to include it in your profile, do it. If you don't, don't. Perhaps we should be connecting people in our network, rather than trying to tell them how to manage their own job searching 🤷. Just a thought. #connections #recruitment #linkedinnetworking #helpingothers

If you are #Opentowork keep sharing it. It's not annoying. Share it daily/weekly/monthly. Over and over again! There are hundreds of thousands of people using LinkedIn every day. Posts get lost in the busy feeds of rants/job postings/general posts/Ads/ etc. Consistency will always benefit you. Share that banner- copy and paste the same #Opentowork post if you have to or even if you just don't have time to write a new post. Who cares! Just keep sharing it! Eventually the right person will come across it and reach out to you for the perfect role you have been searching for. 😊 #Hiring #jobseekers #positive #linkedincommunity

I have seen several post around this topic: Should I keep or remove my #opentowork banner. According to LinkedIn Leaning. Members with an OpenToWork photo frame are on average receiving 40% more InMailsfrom recruiters. Knowing that stat, I have set my #opentowork banner to be shared with recruiters only.

Using #opentowork is a GOOD thing and anyone who thinks otherwise is NOT somewhere you want to be. Leverage your network! Check out this NBC News article from 2008 featuring a story about how LinkedIn changed my professional life. Thanks again Krista Canfield McNish for helping share this story.

LinkedIn's #OpentoWork Banner. There's been plenty of articles and discussions about TA professionals using it. Does it signal desperation? Does it show weakness? The fear of perception has raised some of these questions even though the banner is another tool for job seekers to find a new role. Hear what TA professionals shared about the use of the banner: https://bit.ly/3ucxRNT #LinkedIn #community #opentowork

Just a simple reminder - if you're #opentowork, make sure you're sharing your personal contact information in your profile. At the very least, please share it once we connect. I GUARANTEE this will greatly improve your job search results! #Helpmehelpyou #SCN
