Create a Guide: Frame your HfLA experience

[ExperimentsInHonesty]

Overview

We need a guide about how to add your HfLA UX/UI experience to your resume and linkedin, and how to talk about it with employers and recruiters, so that Hack for LA volunteers can effectively present their experience to get jobs.
