Availability Settings
Your Availability
Your availability tells customers whether you can take work now.
One Switch
Turn on I am available for work when you can take work, and turn it off when you cannot. A switch you turned on counts for 7 days: turn it on again each week you are still available.
Where It Shows
On every list page, boosted professionals come first, then professionals marked available, then the most reviewed, then the most recently updated. Professionals who are not marked available are still listed on the professionals page; the map shows only professionals marked available (or boosted).
Setting Your Availability
- Go to your Profile
- Turn I am available for work on or off
- The change saves as you make it

Best Practices
