Common Pitfalls and How to Avoid Them

1. Can't Find the 'Open to Work' Option
   Make sure you're viewing your own profile, not someone else’s. The option appears only on your profile when logged in.

2. Changes Not Saving
   If edits don't save, check your internet connection and try again. Make sure you're clicking the final “Save” or “Delete” button.

3. Still Visible to Recruiters
   Removing the badge from your profile doesn't always remove it from LinkedIn’s recruiter tools. You may need to edit preferences under “Job Preferences” in the Jobs tab.

4. Mobile App Not Updating
   If you're making changes on the mobile app and they don't reflect, try logging in through the desktop version.

5. Removing Instead of Editing
   If you only want to hide the badge but keep job preferences active, choose the option to only make it visible to recruiters.
