LinkedIn Open to Work and Job Seeking Features
Ma Thiri works as an admin assistant at a construction company in Yangon, earning 380,000 MMK per month. She wants to move into an HR coordinator role at an NGO or MNC, but she is terrified her current boss will find out she is looking. She heard about LinkedIn's green 'Open to Work' banner but worries it is basically shouting 'I want to quit' to everyone, including her manager who follows her on LinkedIn. Last week, a colleague told her he turned it on and got three recruiter messages in one week -- all for roles paying 500,000 to 700,000 MMK. Ma Thiri opened LinkedIn on her phone that night, stared at the setting for ten minutes, and closed the app. If you have ever hesitated at that same screen, this module is for you.
