"Open to work" says nothing. Say the Monday.
A recruiter cannot act on "open to opportunities". They can act on a date. A do/don't list for candidates who want to be contacted for the right job.
Seen a post that belongs here?
When someone on LinkedIn says something true about hiring that most people only think, tell them. Paste this under their post. It is a compliment to the author, it puts a good argument in front of more people, and we read every one.
This is the kind of thing most people only say in private. It deserves a guest post on From Monday’s Do/Don’t blog: https://frommonday.app/do-dont
Or put your own forward
Anyone signed in with LinkedIn can suggest a post. We review it before it goes up. Paying members will publish without review; paying starts with the app, which is not out yet.
