@JackRichman

I recommend adding some more interests. Think of three orgs that you might want to follow professionally, and let me know next time we meet, so that I can show you how to add them as interests to your linkedin if you have forgotten how.

It looks like you are still missing some endorsements (at the least you should get one for github)
I recommend the following additional steps

• Go into the Hack for LA team roster and connect with each person who did a pr review or issue completed for you
• Once they have accepted your linkedin request, go to their profile and endorse them for the skills that your issue required. So if your issue was a Figma issue, then endorse them for that, etc.
• Then wait a few days, and write to them asking them if they would consider endorsing you for that skill and reminding them of the pr or issue (including putting a link to the item).

Note: you only NEED one endorsement per skill to make it show up when recruiters are searching for you. But you do need at least one.
