6 Ways to Update Your LinkedIn Profile After a Layoff

Whatever the audit finds, these are the changes worth making first. None of them take long.

  1. 1

    Turn on Open to Work, and choose who sees it

    In Open to Work you can show the green banner to everyone or share it with recruiters only. Pick the one that fits your situation, and add several job titles and locations so you show up in more recruiter searches.

  2. 2

    Make your headline name the role you want next

    Recruiters search by title. Lead with the role you are going after, then add the skills or results that back it up. Your last job title is not required to be the first thing people read.

  3. 3

    Frame the transition in one or two lines

    Close your About section with a short, factual line about what you are looking for next. Keep it forward-looking and specific. You do not need to explain the layoff.

  4. 4

    Add outcomes from your last role

    Update your most recent position while the details are fresh. Numbers, scope and results beat a list of duties, and they are easy to forget a few months from now.

  5. 5

    Ask former colleagues for recommendations now

    People remember the work best right after working together. A few specific recommendations from managers and peers carry real weight for anyone checking you out.

  6. 6

    Set up job alerts and your Featured section

    Save searches for your target roles so openings come to you. Pin your best work in Featured so a recruiter who lands on your profile sees proof within seconds.

What Our Early Users Say

Real stories from professionals who've optimized their LinkedIn presence

“This analysis revealed blind spots I didn't even know existed.”

I thought my profile was solid, but the AI caught inconsistencies between my headline and my actual work. The positioning feedback was eye-opening - I was attracting the wrong audience entirely. Made the changes and saw profile views jump 40% in two weeks.

“The headline rewrites alone were worth it.”

I've been stuck with the same boring headline for years. The three AI-generated alternatives were all better than mine, and each one targeted a different goal. Picked one focused on client acquisition and started getting inbound messages within days.

“Finally understand how I'm actually being perceived.”

The gap between how I thought I was positioning myself and how I actually came across was huge. The report broke it down so clearly - what I was signaling vs. what I intended. Fixed my about section and the difference in engagement has been dramatic.

“Quick wins section is pure gold.”

Love that it ranks improvements by impact and effort. Knocked out the three highest-impact changes in under an hour. My profile feels 10x more professional now, and I'm actually proud to share it when networking.

“Best profile feedback I've ever received.”

I've had colleagues review my profile before, but this was different. The AI picked up on subtle tone issues and audience misalignment that humans missed. The narrative analysis helped me tell a much clearer story about my career journey.

“Transformed my profile from generic to magnetic.”

Before this, my profile read like a resume - boring and forgettable. The content voice analysis showed me exactly where I was being too formal and where I needed more personality. Now my profile actually sounds like me, and people are reaching out.
