Are you active on LinkedIn?
Do you receive or give recommendations?
How many recommendations have you received?
Someone said that one should have at least five solid recommendations on LinkedIn.
In this article: Are LinkedIn recommendations important? Here is what 10 hiring managers say: they are "plus, super important, proof, they should be given credit, they hold some weight. they can definitely help, they can influence or reinforce".
I had only one before last March. I reached out last February and got five by the end of March.
I will be showing off all seven one by one with my brief comments:
Gaetane: Angela is a very engaged person and follows her commitment. She is enthusiastic, reliable, always ready to help people to reach their goals. Moreover, she is a great speaker and wants to improve every day.
Gaetane wrote that in 2011. It was the first recommendation I received on LinkedIn and I wrote her one as well. We have known each other through Toastmasters and we are always each other's fans on social media.
Leona: Angela is an exceptional team leader and a team player. I had the immense privilege of having Angela on my team as an Area Director in 2009-2010. A motivator, she successfully led her team to President's Distinguished status.
Angela possesses excellent communication and interpersonal skills. People are drawn to her because of her natural calm, professionalism, and inclusive attitude. She is also organized and can make multi-tasking seem so easy.
Angela would be an asset to any forward-looking organization.
Leona is an exceptional leader I always admire and aspire to be.
Thank you for your words of validation!
