Still Using the “Open to Work” Banner? Here’s Why It’s Not Helping

May 13, 2025

Let’s talk about the green banner on LinkedIn… because I have a hot take that might surprise you.

If you’re still using the “Open to Work” banner, hoping it’ll help you get noticed and land more interviews—this episode is your wake-up call.

After coaching thousands of job seekers, I can confidently say:

That banner is not helping you. In fact, it might be quietly sabotaging your job search.

Inside this episode, I’ll break down:

✔️ Why the green banner sends the wrong message

✔️ What recruiters are actually looking for when they search LinkedIn

✔️ How to activate your network (without begging for help)

✔️ My go-to way to show you're open—without the desperation

✔️ How to get noticed and messaged by recruiters without posting publicly

This is the same strategy I teach my private coaching clients—and not one of them has landed a role because of that green banner.

It’s time to shift your strategy and take back control.
