Early in my career I used to turn off all job search functions when I was working a job. Didn't take calls from recruiters, LinkedIn was set private, etc.
In the last decade I leave it all running and continuously stay in semi-passive job search mode. My LI is wide open. Recruiter wants to send me a job description? Sure, I'll read it. I've gotten a few decent raises that way without really trying.
TLDR: you should always be prepared for a layoff or rapid job change. Don't wait until you're being handed your papers.
- revskill 4y agoThat doesn't directly answer OP question. What to do AFTER a layoff. It's about probability on most of cases. You can luckily find out good TA on LinkedIn of course.
- joezydeco 4y agoOP asked I realized I should have a plan just in case. The response is "the plan is to always have your job radar on and not wait until it's too late"
