A new job may be calling for most workers in 2025. Despite talk of the “Big Stay,” a recent Monster poll reveals that 93% of employees are job hunting or planning to. While salary remains a factor, fewer workers see it as the top reason to leave. Instead, limited growth, workplace culture, and better benefits are driving their decisions. Even with economic concerns, many job seekers are prioritizing flexibility and career advancement over a pay bump. But with 76% expecting a tough job market, is the right opportunity out there? Read the full article to explore what’s really motivating today’s workforce.

Career Corner: Ask a Recruiter

What’s the vibe on LinkedIn these days?
|
|
|
A If you spend any time on LinkedIn, you may notice it feels different these days. Perhaps the reels, heated discourse, and pictures that go beyond the traditional work day remind you more of Facebook or other social media platforms? There’s also the accompanying posts of “Hey, this doesn’t belong on LinkedIn!” from passionate commenters and posters. So, what’s the real vibe on LinkedIn? What should be your considerations when you post/engage?
LinkedIn makes money the more that users engage (because it attracts advertisers, recruiters who pay for special licenses, etc), so the very busy/engaging LinkedIn you see today is very much by design. There are no hard and fast rules with LinkedIn right now, but if you are a professional who wants to be hireable or attract business, just remember that what you post, comment on, react to, etc. can be seen by colleagues, recruiters, and current/future employers.
Like on other social media platforms, content creators abound on LinkedIn and many people are posting frequently. But posting isn’t a means to getting a job (though it can help if done strategically, and in alignment with target roles/industry). If you’re not posting regularly or ever, you can still create a strong LinkedIn profile that positions you for jobs.
Here are some profile suggestions:
- Updated, professional profile picture (and photos taken on a smart phone can absolutely look professional).
- Headline that follows this formula: Job Title @ Employer Name (or Job Function and Industry) | 3 high-impact job functions | short value statement (ex: Career Coach @ WorkTogether Talent | Coaching, Content Creation, Leadership Training | Positioning mission-driven talent to land roles leading social impact organizations)
- An “About” section that is written in first person and shares the professional problems you solve, some quick career highlights, and the work you find fueling.
- Updated Experience section that either includes bullets from your resume, or a 1-2 sentence overview about your work. This is important because job title are not always reflective of your job AND the more content on your profile, the easier it will be for recruiters to find you.
- Complete education section with your degree (but graduation date not necessary). Please, oh please, delete your high school information though!
Want to post regularly? Great! Don’t feel like posting at all? No problem. Just remember, what you post/react to is PUBLIC and can play a role in your job search experience.
