Create the Best Possible LinkedIn Profile To Get Hired

Recommendations

Your experience and work history are extremely important, but to add more credibility to these elements reach out for recommendations. A solid combination of skill endorsements and recommendation can help start conversations faster than anything. There is a difference between endorsements and recommendations. Endorsements are less specific and are not credible when it comes to recommendations. Recommendations are written by other people about your most important former positions within the industry and are seen as high quality on LinkedIn. You want your recommendation section to range between 5 and 10 and LinkedIn will show the two most recent recommendations.

You can easily manage and ask for recommendations from friends by going to the Privacy and Settings tab, manage your recommendation and then a tab will direct you to your next action. There is even n option for customizing your message for recommendations rather than an auto-generated one.
