Personally I have opted not to make this publicly visible as I don’t see it as beneficial in my case. The status settings also allow you to share this with just recruiters which I have opted into .

Curious to see if anyone has found it useful to set this status publicly.

Looks desperate

I’ve never seen a client side recruiter say they think it makes candidates look desperate. The only people I’ve seen saying it does are 1) external recruiters who’d miss out on commission if a candidate is directly sourced by employers 2) by coaches who would miss out on selling services if candidates are directly sourced by employers

I get more inquiries with open to work and open to recruiters both turned off.

Covid has been hard. March 2029- December 2020 I drank a lot to cope without realizing it. January- March I didn't realize I was depressed. March I came to terms with increase and ongoing suicidal ideation and needed help.

I went into a intensive outpatient program (IOP) which has been super helpful.

During the beginning of covid I drank every day and in a great deal. January it was a "dry" month which was hard the first week but overall great.

March 2021 realized I'm clinically depressed.

Kinda bummed. I’ve been single for 6 years (I’m 31 now). I live in ptown and talk to guys in Boston on tinder. Was talking to a guy for about a week who is my type. I asked if he wanted to FaceTime tonight and he said sure but caveated that he isn’t into long distance (ptown to Boston) and that we would most likely stick to chatting. Idk what’s wrong with me. Everyone tells me I’m a catch but guys I’m attracted to are never into me 😭 just needed to vent
