Frustrated that I didn't make career moves sooner because of my temporary status (DACA). I just received my permanent residency and don't know how to explain to recruiters or hiring managers that I had limited options before my petition went through, and that's why I'm making the shift now.

Why not explain it to recruiters/hiring managers exactly the way you explained it here?

like

#1 Recruiters/Hiring Managers like that are sh*t and aren't worth your time
#2 Think of how to explain whatever you need to explain in "creative" ways - not lie, exactly, but come up with something plausible that wouldn't get questioned too much. Something to do with volunteeting, maybe?

My coworker always looks me intensely in the eyes when he speaks. I guess he does it to everyone but I'm the only one that seems to react to it. I always come off so submissive and sheepish when he does it. I feel like he notices and does it more now.

I'm not even submissive, it just reminds me of my crazy ex that I had great sex with. He used to blatantly stare at me watch me like prey before we dated. First time I experienced anything like that.

I am thinking of moving far away to escape it and hoping he will eventually agree to everything before the house goes into foreclosure.
