It's important you set your unavailability to let companies know when you can't accept work.
Perhaps you are going on holiday, or returning to studies. Whatever the reason, in MY CALENDAR there is the opportunity to set your unavailability.
You can set when you are not available to work. This will let agencies know when you can’t accept work. These could be periods when you are on vacation or returning to your studies.
Navigate to the My Calendar page and under the UPCOMING tab, click the SET UNAVAILABILITY button.
