When you're looking for a new job, it may seem like a no-brainer to let as many people as possible know. But career experts differ on their opinions about LinkedIn's "open to work" banner, the green sign that shows up just under your photo if you choose to activate it. "It is the biggest red flag" in a job candidate, says Nolan Church, former Google recruiter and current CEO of salary data company FairComp. With that banner activated, "because you need something from me, that means that I have the power in this conversation," she says. But not all career experts agree, and LinkedIn's own data does not necessarily support this thinking.

On Jan. 9, TikToker Brittany Pietsch posted a video of her layoff from tech company Cloudflare. The video went viral, with various outlets weighing in both on how the company handled the layoff and Pietsch's choice to post it at all. "I documented my layoff because at that point I was already very active on TikTok," she tells Make It. "I think that this is insanely risky for future job prospects," says Nolan Church, former Google recruiter and current CEO of salary data company FairComp. You could still make a measured, professional post in that moment, but it would be just as easy to get emotional.

Interviewers will likely take some time upfront to discuss your work history and do a general assessment of your fit for the role and company. And oftentimes they'll leave 10 to 15 minutes at the end for you to ask some questions of your own. But according to former Google recruiter Nolan Church, there's also one question every job candidate should ask:'What's the No. To begin with, asking your interviewers about their most critical problems gives you a chance to see if, on the ground, this is really a job you want to do. It gives you the chance to think about, "do you actually want to solve those types of problems?"
