How to use it
- Add your role and company. Write your job title and the employer as you want them named. You decide how much to say about the layoff itself; the post keeps it brief and gracious.
- Say what you did well. Describe your work, a result or two with the real numbers, your skills and anyone you want to thank. The post uses only these facts, so add the details that matter most.
- Name what you want next. Write the kind of role, team or location you are looking for. The post ends with a clear ask so people in your network know how to help.
- Read it before you share. Check that every sentence is true and that the tone feels right to you, adjust any wording, then post it and follow up with the people who reply.

What the tool wrote
After 3 years as a Customer Success Manager at Brightline Software, my role was part of a recent layoff.
I am grateful for the work and the people. Thank you to my manager, Dana Ortiz, and to the support team for making every week better.
A few things I am proud of: I managed a book of 60 mid-size accounts, raised our renewal rate from 82% to 91% by starting quarterly check-in calls, and built the onboarding guide the whole support team now uses.
I am now looking for customer success or account management roles, remote or in Chicago.
If you know of a team that could use someone who keeps customers close and renewing, I would welcome an introduction or a lead. Thank you for reading and sharing.

Frequently asked questions
Should I post that I was laid off?
It is your choice. A short, positive post can let your network know you are available and what you want next. If you post, keep it gracious toward your former employer, name your strengths and make a clear ask such as introductions or leads.
Does the generator make things up?
It is told to use only the facts in what you write about your role and your work, and every result is checked before you see it: a number, degree or name your text does not contain is refused and the post is rewritten once. If it still cannot be written from your facts, nothing is shown and the attempt does not use your free allowance.
What should a layoff post include?
Your role and employer, a short thank you, one or two things you did well with real results, the kind of role you want next and how people can help. Leave out blame or details you would not want a future employer to read.
How long should the post be?
A LinkedIn post can be up to 3,000 characters, but a short post is easier to read and share. Each post here is between 90 and 160 words.
How many posts can I write for free?
Five generations a day with no account, shared with Applystead's other free AI tools such as the open to work post generator and the cover letter generator. Each click of the button that returns a result counts as one generation, and the allowance resets at midnight Pacific time.
Is what I type stored?
No. Your text is sent to Applystead only to write the post and is not stored. Nothing is saved to an account, and there is no account to create. Copy the result you want before you leave the page.
