00:00:14.610 --> 00:00:28.560

Lauryn: Yes, and that's what i'm like like Google post anything but

listen and people are eating it up.

professional Facebook and i'm just going to ask the Group is there a

way that.

00:00:37.230 --> 00:00:53.250

Dr. Jennifer Edwards (she, her, hers): You know, individuals or

companies or cities or counties or States could use it in a way that

is not being utilized right now that would make you as a person, more

engaged with that organization or the platform linkedin in general.

00:00:55.140 --> 00:01:13.860

Lauryn: yeah that's good, I will say like I followed like like Dallas

county they post a lot of jobs and a lot of dates which is good enough

like if more people knew about it, you know i'm i'm not it's a really

good resource, I will say that I just like him we have kind of

straight away.
