Should I post about my job search on LinkedIn?

A public job search announcement can be very effective — but only if done right. LinkedIn Economic Graph: Public job search posts generate on average 5-10x more engagement than regular posts — the network likes to help. Effective format: Clarity about the desired role and industry, brief description of your profile and strongest value proposition, specific request (intro, tips on positions, recommendations). What doesn't work: Vague 'I'm open to change' posts without specifics. Caveat: If you're still employed and want to search discreetly, a public post is risky — use the 'Open to Work (recruiters only)' setting instead. GDPR: What you post on LinkedIn is public — your current employer can see it.
