I'm not actively looking but would like to activate the option on LinkedIn that lets recruiters know that I am open to opportunities when/if I come up on their searches.

Does anyone know if turning this feature on comes up as a notice to my connections? I would like to avoid this as I have some colleagues from current firm, including a Partner.

I am someone whole dwells on my past mistakes, both in professional and personal setting. These mistakes, when I look back in hindsight, aren't a big deal usually.

I hate it and it can ruin my days.

Anyone else have a similar problem and how did you get pass it? My firm sponsors therapy. Do you think it'll help?

Most of my freelance work over the past three years has been cannabis industry related. I was hired in the beginning of November in-house for a growing brand. (pun not intended) It feels like the wild west where anything goes and most people seem to be winging it.

So much potential to do great work, but nothing I would show or be proud of. I did better work as a consultant.

Anyone else working on the Brand side of the cannabis industry? Thoughts?
