I see many people reached out to the LinkedIn community to enhance their chances of finding new opportunities by posting an #OpentoWork post. It’s important to strike the balance in such posts, expressing eagerness without sounding desperate.
Begin our post by expressing gratitude, which sets a positive tone and shows that we value our professional journey and network. Be specific about the types of roles we are interested in and the skills we bring to the table.
Don’t forget to briefly mention our key accomplishments without going overboard. Instead of just asking for help, mention that we are open to sharing our own insights or assistance, making the interaction more reciprocal. Close with a soft call to action, encouraging our network to share our post or get in touch if they know any suitable opportunities.
Example Post:
I am grateful for my time at PERSOLKELLY, where I developed my HR & Service Operations skills. Leading a team of 22 professionals, I’ve developed and implemented comprehensive HR & Service strategies, supporting the growth from 200 to 450 employees and achieving >30% NPS year-on-year.
I’m looking for new challenges in either HR or Operations and am eager to bring my 20 years of experience to a dynamic new team. If you have leads or need insights in HR or Services Operations, let’s connect. Your support in sharing this post is greatly appreciated.
Well, to be clear I am not looking for a job. BUT… my Johor EA Tour tickets are not selling as expected, so I’m reaching out to ask for help to spread the word about my Employment Act One-Day Crash Course. If you know someone in Johor or nearby regions like Singapore or Kuching who could benefit from this training, please share this post with them or directly invite them to join us. Every share, like or comment helps us reach more people.
We are also giving out the updated Employment Act 1955 book published by MECA for free! The link to sign up is here: https://www.meca.com.my/public-course/auntyhrontour
Looking forward to meeting many of you there and delivering a training that truly makes a difference.
xoxoxo, AuntyHR
