Casey Fozard, YC Return. Ah yes, LinkedIn. LinkedIn is very picky about how you access it. If you use a VPN to hide your location and try to access LinkedIn, they don't like that. They really don't. So they got on my case about that and they are like, well you are logging in from a location we don't recognize and something about my profile, not meeting community standards. And my response was, well hey, I'm still trying to work on it. And yeah, basically I even tried their persona thing to appeal my case. And that is where you upload your driver's license, upload a picture of yourself, and you have an email back saying, okay, we are looking into it. We'll let you know. And then I waited and waited and finally got something back and I said, oh, sorry, your profile is still restricted and it's not meeting community standards or something. I was thinking, how can it not meet community standards? I hardly have anything on there. They are working on it and I hope you have all this flag for it. I did put my profile in restricted mode because I was working on it. I could put it in public once I get access hopefully. The other thing I was thinking about doing is I have more than one email address. I figured well, why don't I just start from scratch, create an entirely new profile, and use a different email address, see if I can't get something going there. I don't know. We'll see. In the meantime, I've got something on Indeed and I've also got something on ZipRecruiter, TribeMonster, and Monster. Unfortunately, I think that's where some of these bad actors who pose as so-called recruiters come from, or that Monster has been having some problems unfortunately. So maybe that's why I'm getting strange calls. But at least I was able to reach out to a friend of mine and explain my situation. He knows me very well and he works with one of my old bosses that I used to work with up north. So that might be promising. But yes, LinkedIn is another avenue too. I'll have to look into what I need to do to get back on there and get it working right. KC4 is at YC. He's going to be back over to you.
