Looking at your LinkedIn profile, I agree that you have to have a good explanation for the 4 jobs in 5 years. Work on that - run it past people - try out a few different versions (the truth can be told many ways). It is unfortunate, but any hiring manager will wonder if they are looking at a job hopper here. Also, they may wonder about your stability, as your tenures seem to get shorter and shorter over the years, and that with a better and better economy.
I would get a professional business portrait picture taken. If you are short on funds, some job fairs will provide them for free or a small fee. Definitely take down the picture you have now, in front of a door with some coat hanging behind you. 
Good Luck and keep us posted!

"A better and better economy". Then explain why the debt has doubled in the past ten years?Where has that money the govt has borrowed and spent gone? What effect does all of that Federal stimulus have upon the economy?
Digging down into the employment data what kind of jobs have been created and their pay scales? What is the Labour percentage rate?
Until you can present answers and a clearly defined rational for why you think the economy is getting better and better your assessment is anecdotal.
I think you will find that govt spending and monetary policy is making a moribund economy appear healthier than it really is. It creates a disconnect between apperance and reality. The American people have bought into MAGA because they want it to be like it once was instead of realizing it is a new paradigm at work. It is a tough reality to swallow and no politician wants to touch it. So it is more of the same old same old
Now is that doom and gloom or is it a realistic assessment? Now because it is a unpleasant reality to have to swallow you might feel it is depressing to have to come to grips with. Nobody ever promised you reality would be easy and pleasant to have to deal with. The reality on the Titanic was that the ship was going to sink and there weren't enough life boats to save everybody. That was an unpleasant reality people on the ship had to deal with and no amount of denial or wishful thinking was going to fix or change that reality.
