How to Craft a Great #OpenToWork Post

How to Craft a Great #OpenToWork Post

By Jeff Altman, The Big Game Hunter

Looking to supercharge your job hunt?  Your LinkedIn #OpenToWork post is a prime opportunity to grab recruiters’ attention and increase your visibility. But you can’t just wing it – this post needs to be a masterpiece.

Here are 7 pro tips to make your #OpenToWork post an absolute showstopper:

  1. Get Crystal Clear on Your What Your Ideal Job Is Before you start writing, do some serious soul-searching. What are your must-haves for your next role? Make a detailed list covering everything from job titles and responsibilities to company culture and work arrangements. Don’t hold back!
  2. Ooze Positive Energy 
    We get it, you might be feeling salty about your last gig. But venting about your former employer is an instant turn-off for recruiters. They want candidates who are upbeat, eager to dive into something fresh. So dust off those rose-colored glasses and let that sunny disposition shine!
  3. Stand Out From the Crowd Using LinkedIn’s #OpenToWork template is the professional equivalent of rocking up to an interview in sweats. You’ll blend into the sea of sameness. This is your chance to craft a truly distinctive post that grabs attention!
  4. Brag Employers want to know you’ll deliver results. Don’t just list your skills and experience – sell them! Highlight your top accomplishments and make those achievements sizzle. Include tangible proof like links to your portfolio or samples of your work.
  5. Drive Recruiter Action  Your #OpenToWork post should work tirelessly for you. Optimize it with relevant hashtags like #[YourIndustry]Jobs to get maximum visibility. And make sure to include a powerful call-to-action inviting recruiters to connect!
  6. Back It Up  An outstanding #OpenToWork post deserves an equally stellar LinkedIn profile. After revamping your post, give your profile a polish – packing it with those same juicy keywords and accomplishments.
  7. Be a Stellar Network Citizen  To truly thrive on LinkedIn, give as good as you get. Shout out your connections’ #OpenToWork posts, endorse their skills, and share opportunities. Your generosity will inspire others to champion your job search!

With these insider tips, your #OpenToWork post won’t just get noticed – it’ll be an undeniable showstopper that positions you as an absolute must-hire talent!
