I do the same, a change in status sends out notifications. So, as I'm linked with my agent, I know they will get an email within a couple of days stating I'm available for work from beginning of next month. Works for me.Comment

Yes, that's the point of changing status so the agent gets notified that I've started looking. I've also hidden my contacts from each other so if an agent links with me they won't get to trawl for more contacts.Comment
