After social media manager Jensen Rubinstein was let go from her job in January, she put the green “Open to Work” banner up under her LinkedIn profile photo. Along with a short post about the reason for her job loss, the banner almost immediately caught the eye of a director at a small publication looking to fill a contract position—a role she landed and still serves in today.
It also snagged her a first-round interview at another company she was pleasantly surprised to be considered for. “It wouldn’t have been on my radar, and it’s not really in an industry that I would’ve been super interested in working in, but they contacted me,” says Rubenstein (who, full disclosure, was a coworker at a previous job).
