Summary of Research
We need to create a research plan to understand HackforLA volunteer who has either received or did not received recommendation letter on LinkedIn. List of prospective participants for interviews has been created, along with an interview question guide. However, timeline for recruiting participants, administering interviews, and synthesizing data has not yet begun. A timeline needs to be established and then recruitment of participants should be the next steps.
