I got hit up several times yesterday and once two weeks ago...
I'm thinking I don't want to have to clean my profile up there, that's not what I use it for...
hmm
Then I came to know that my profile is what they are after are, they've already scoped me out. Dude, I'm a creative.
For the first person I wrote the recommendation and sent it to them for a review. I offered to sit on it for a few more days and they said yes, sit on it.
I was just listening to the guerilla marketer's plan to get a job ahead of the rest of the pack and they are making a deal about this linkedin recommendation. When people look at someone's recommendations they are likely to look into you and offer you a job.
Now that really isn't what I had in mind at all. I highly recommend the guerilla marketer references below. Narrowing down your prospects and having absolute clarity about the job you are seeking, highly recommended.
For non-creative people clean up your Linked-In profile and follow http://www.wikihow.com/Write-a-LinkedIn-Recommendation and good luck!
