Nothing really came out of this, but I wanted to let everyone know. I never really messed with my LinkedIn statuses before, but I figured it would be fun just to see how marketable I am currently. I changed my status to "Looking for work" (just started a new job and I wasn't actually moving companies) and my recruiter confronted me about it. I just told them I'm not looking, and was just messing around with my LinkedIn (the truth). Still, the fact that they confronted me kinda put me on edge so I changed it back to smooth things over. This ever happen to anyone before?
