Recommendations are considered the most important part of using Linkedin to recieve job opportunities. Through building connections within large networks of similarly oriented professionals, you can expand your client base and get your name out to a larger client pool. Such reccomendations also provide you with an exceptional appearance to potential clients/customers.
To receive a recommendation, you don’t have to do much if you have already built some connections through your profile. Once you have familiarized yourself with another Linkedin professional, ask for a recommendation. If you are on good terms, it is likely that you will recieve one.
How do you target the right professionals to recieve reccomendations? With Linkedin’s network capabilities, this problem can be quite easily solved. By simply building relationships through even vague connections, you can click on the “Ask for an Endorsement” option. This will in turn send a brief message to the professional asking him/her for a recommendation.
