Hello, I'm Jesús, a very proud Mexican, I love my country.
I am new here, I have had many, many conflicts to configure the account, unfortunately the complete procedure to have the profile 100% is quite obscure and not at all clear, but not the procedure for purchasing CONNECTS (without seeming to complain).
Anyway, I will continue trying to get my first contract.
A hug.
