Fun Friday: Ask for a LinkedIn Recommendation!

by Jennifer Gniadecki on August 15th, 2008

Are you on LinkedIn?

Go through your list of people and find one you can ask for a recommendation.  Even if you already have a recommendation, ask someone else for one. Write the note to them, don’t just send out a generic one. Let the person you’re asking them for a reason.

Also, remember it’s okay to let them know what to focus on.

  • “Would you give me a recommendation, please?” is okay.
  • “Would you please write a short recommendation that focuses on my integrity? I really appreciate it, and I’m asking you because we worked well together and you know my integrity better than anyone!” Is awesome.
