Have you been reccomended?
Posted by Rebecca Brown
I recently learned a new job hunting tip: get recommended on LinkedIn.
Essentially, being recommended means you ask someone, or they do it voluntarily, in your network to write something positive about the work you've done as a student, at a job, internship, etc. Someone could write about your excellent reporting skills or ability to ask questions and pay attention to detail.
Then, when you apply for a job, in your cover letter or first e-mail you could include the link to your LinkedIn and a potential employer could see a reference without picking up the phone.
Don't be afraid to ask someone to recommend you, people are looking to help and it's always nice to read something nice about yourself!
