LinkedIn Recommendations are like reviews on Google and Yelp--they add credibility. And like with all positive reviews, you often need to ask for them! Reach out to people in your network, your peers, colleagues, supervisors, teachers--their feedback about different types of strengths you have will be an important addition to your career portfolio! (the article is a few years old; now, it is even more relevant)
LinkedIn recommendations are indeed a powerful way to showcase your strengths and build credibility, especially in a competitive professional landscape. Proactively reaching out to those who can vouch for your skills and contributions is an excellent strategy to enhance your profile. Much like visual tools such as a my life in weeks poster can provide perspective on time and achievements, recommendations offer a snapshot of your professional journey and impact. Both serve as valuable reminders of progress and potential!
