Ask for help, the right way

An open to work post
that people want to share.

Getting laid off is hard enough. Then you’re supposed to tell the whole internet about it, on the same app where everyone else is announcing promotions. A lot of people put it off for weeks, and the weeks are exactly when the post would help most.

This free layoff and open to work post generator asks three things: what happened, what you do well (with a result or two), and the exact roles and places you’re looking for. Then it writes a calm, dignified post that says what happened in one line, spends the rest on what you’re great at, and ends with an easy ask: an intro, a referral or a share. No bitterness, no pity, just a clear way for people to help.

How to write an open to work post

  1. Say what happened in a sentence. “My role was cut along with 40 others” is enough.
  2. Write what you do well, with a real result or two.
  3. Say the exact roles and places you’re looking for.
  4. Write your post, check it, and copy it to LinkedIn.

Lines that make people want to help

Openings that work: “Last week my role was cut, along with 40 others. I’m looking for my next role.” “I’m open to work. Here’s what I do and what I’m looking for.” Closings that get action: “If you know a team that needs this, an intro would mean a lot.” “A share helps more than you’d think.” The generator ends every post with one clear ask like these.

Make it easy to help you

People want to help after a layoff post. Most just don’t know how. “Open to new opportunities” gives them nothing. “Content lead roles, remote or in Berlin” lets them think of a name straight away.

Your job is to be specific about two things: what you’re great at, and what you want next. The post handles the tone.

Tip: Ask for one small, clear thing. An intro, a referral, or a share. Small asks get done. Vague asks get likes.

Stay gracious about your old company

However it happened, keep the post about you and what’s next. Hiring managers read these posts, and a calm one reads as someone they’d want on their team. Vent to friends, not to the feed.

Ask the community for help

Questions about the LinkedIn layoff and open to work post generator.

Should I post on LinkedIn after being laid off?

Yes, in most cases. A clear post tells your whole network you’re looking at once, and people are often keen to help. Post when you know what roles you want, so your ask is specific.

What should an open to work post say?

What happened in one line, what you do well with a real result, the exact roles and places you want, and one small ask. This generator writes it from three answers.

Should I use the green Open to Work frame?

It’s a personal choice. The frame tells everyone you’re looking. You can also tell only recruiters through LinkedIn’s job settings. A clear post works either way.

Will it make things up?

No. It only uses what you type. It won’t invent results, employers or skills.

Is it free?

Yes. You get 3 free posts a day without an account, shared with Wiral’s other post writers.

Posting every week is the hard part.

Wiral turns a thought, a voice note or a link into three posts that sound like you, with images and carousels built in. You pick one, it goes in your queue.
