Tips

  • Be specific about the kind of work. It makes it much easier for people to help.
  • Use the 'Open to Work' setting (you can limit visibility to recruiters only if you prefer).
  • Keep a positive, matter-of-fact tone. Don't criticise your former employer.
  • Refresh your headline, photo and 'About' section before posting.
  • Reply to every comment and message. Follow up with people who offer to help.
