LinkedIn post ideas for job seekers

The best thing you can do while job hunting is look like someone already doing the job well. These twelve ideas all do that. None of them require you to announce you are looking. Pick one, write it in your own words, and post it.

1. A result you are proud of. A specific outcome and the two or three things that made it happen.
2. A mistake and the lesson. What you got wrong once and what you do differently now. Honesty reads as confidence.
3. A take on where your field is heading. One clear opinion, held plainly.
4. The thing colleagues always ask you. Write the answer down once, as a short how-to.
5. A breakdown of how you solved a specific problem. The situation, the options, the call you made.
6. A tool or resource you rate. What it is, who it is for, why it earns its place.
7. A myth in your industry you disagree with. Name it, then make the case.
8. What good looks like in your role. The standard you hold, and why it matters.
9. A short case study from your past work. Anonymise it if you need to; keep the numbers.
10. A question you are genuinely chewing on. Invite the smart people in your network to weigh in.
11. Something you have changed your mind about. A before-and-after of your own thinking.
12. A thank-you with substance. Credit someone who taught you something, and share what it was.

The hard part is not the ideas, it is turning them into a post every week when you are busy applying. That is what Standout handles: two posts a day, written in your voice from what is happening in your field, ready to publish.
