Tip - Paul Gillin: Write One LinkedIn Recommendation Each Week

Write One LinkedIn Recommendation Each Week

LinkedIn recommendations are personal endorsements of people's skills and qualities by others who have worked with them. A recommendation is worth more than a one-click endorsement because it requires time and thought to create. Recommendations also get prominent placement on LinkedIn profiles, which means your profile gets a boost from someone else. 

If you write recommendations for current and past colleagues, many of them will return the favor, so create a weekly reminder on your calendar to set aside 15 minutes to recommend someone else. After a year you'll have written 50 recommendations and probably received at least half that many in return. This is a great way to enhance your profile, and you'll hardly notice the time you invested.
