Zapomnij o #OpenToWork: Co zamiast zielonej ramki?

Na dzisiejszym konkurencyjnym rynku pracy doświadczeni specjaliści często stają przed dylematem, jak zasygnalizować swoją dostępność bez narażania na szwank swojego profesjonalnego wizerunku. Funkcja LinkedIn #OpenToWork wprowadzona w 2020 roku pozwala użytkownikom wyświetlać „zieloną ramkę” na ich zdjęciu profilowym, wskazując, że są otwarci na nowe możliwości. Choć ta funkcja poprawia widoczność, nie wszyscy uznają ją za odpowiednią dla managerów i executives.

Jeśli chodzi o poszukiwanie pracy, podejście, które sprawdza się w przypadku początkujących profesjonalistów, może nieświadomie zaszkodzić wizerunkowi na wyższym szczeblu. Prawie połowa doświadczonych specjalistów uważa, że zielona ramka bardziej szkodzi, niż pomaga. Jak więc przyciągnąć odpowiednie oferty, nie ryzykując swojej pozycji zawodowej?

AI-Powered Interview Prep: How to Make the Most of It

According to our research, around 90% of experienced managers and executives are NOT properly prepared for their interviews. Surprising? You might think that your experience and perceived caliber speak for itself, but in reality, even the most accomplished candidates often struggle to present themselves effectively and succinctly.

Why does this happen? Some of the most common pitfalls include:

• Relying on charisma instead of structured preparation – confidence is important, but without clear, well-thought-out answers, it’s not enough.
• Assuming that “I interview candidates all the time” translates into being a good interviewee – it doesn’t! Conducting interviews and being interviewed require two very different skill sets.
• Having a superficial, high-level CV – the stronger and more data-driven your CV is, the easier it is to build compelling interview answers around it.
• Struggling to articulate their potential added value clearly and convincingly under pressure.

The result? Missed opportunities. But here’s the good news: AI-powered tools can help.

Forget #OpenToWork: What To Do Instead

In today’s competitive job market, senior professionals often face the dilemma of how to signal their availability without compromising their professional image. LinkedIn’s #OpenToWork feature, introduced in 2020, allows users to display a green banner on their profile picture, indicating they’re open to new opportunities. While this feature offers visibility, its appropriateness for experienced managers and executives is still debatable.

When it comes to job searching, the approach that works for early-career professionals could quietly sabotage your senior-level image. Nearly half of experienced professionals believe the green frame does more harm than good. So what should you do instead to attract the right opportunities – without compromising your professional positioning?

Why Your Job Search Might Not Be Working

The job market in 2025 is 5 times more complex and demanding than in 2020. And 10 times more than in 2015. Why? Firstly, because the division of roles (the who does what when) has changed and secondly, because the presence of technology in the recruitment funnel has completely revolutionized the way candidates are attracted, assessed and, ultimately, hired.

Consequently, it is very likely that you, an experienced, qualified and competent professional / manager, experience frustration in your job search: you might not be landing as many interviews as you’d like… or maybe not even receiving replies to your job hunting efforts. There is nothing more irritating than applying to dozens, sometimes hundreds of opportunities… without tangible results. “Is it me?”, you might wonder. The answer: most probably not. The job market dynamics have drastically changed, but the search methods of the candidates have not.

We’ve prepared a series of three webinars, during which we’ll discuss the following aspects of why your job search might not be working:

The job market is becoming more and more competitive every day. To stand as an executive, you need self-awareness, visibility, and authenticity in everything you do. But how do you get there? It all starts with identifying your Unique Selling Proposition (USP).

Your personal brand is more than just how you introduce yourself – it’s what defines you. It also determines whether you get a call when you’re out there job hunting, and it directly impacts the number on your paycheck. How do you tell your story in a way that connects and captivates? And are there times when skipping storytelling altogether is the better move? (Spoiler: Yes, there are!)
