Angee often gets asked if recruiters really look at a LinkedIn recommendation. For her, the answer is, yes – sometimes. It’s not just what people are saying about you, but also who is saying it. Angee loves it when a former direct report, manager or executive leader is willing to say a few things about why you are a great person to work with. But she doesn’t give as much credence to those recommendations from peers or friends who simply say “you’re AMAZING!” or “super fun!”
Inspired by an article written by Adrian Larssen at The MUSE, Angee shares the five steps to write a great LinkedIn recommendation and then challenges you to pay it forward and write one for someone in your network.
Here’s a link to the article, Your 5-Minute Guide to Writing an Amazing LinkedIn Recommendation.
