With the recent job losses in the tech industry affecting thousands of workers, many people have taken to LinkedIn and other social media to share that they are among those impacted. “Years ago, it was like an act of shame” to publicise your layoff, Albert Ko, the director of sales at AngelList Talent, told CNBC Make It. That’s no longer the case, as it can be a good way to ask for help and “can also be a smart career move.” But you should post something only when you’re mentally ready, he cautioned. Other tips included:
• The post should highlight your accomplishments – your wins and the skills you gained and mastered.
• Be clear about what you want and where you want to go next: Do you have a specific job title in mind? A company you want to work for?
• Tag former managers and coworkers, who can also re-share the post widely and tap their own networks for job leads and connections.
