Linkedin recommendations are not featured as it used to be. It’s near the bottom of your Linkedin profile now. Bob McIntosh, the purveyor of all things LinkedIn for job seekers, is back on the show to discuss Linkedin recommendations.





You are more than welcome to join the discussion. Here are three ways you can:

– Call and leave a voicemail at 708-365-9822, or text your comments to the same number– Go to TheVoiceofJobSeekers.com, press the “Send Voicemail” button on the right side of your screen and leave a message– Send email feedback to mark@thevoiceofjobseekers.com



Here’s more information about Bob McIntosh:

Bob is the founder of Things Career Related blog. He has robust information on LinkedIn, interviewing, and introverts. He works for the Career Center of Lowell as a Career Strategist, LinkedIn Trainer, Workshop Facilitator, and a LinkedIn Profile and Resume Consultant.



Here are highlights from our discussion: 



* Linkedin all-star status once required recommendations, but skill endorsements replaced it. Endorsements ramped up the activity. See Bob’s article about recommendations

* Recommendations weren’t moving fast enough, but endorsements were easy to do

* Recommendations could be the new referral – contingent on witnessing the reason

* Recommendations shown builds the trust

* Comment is more of engagement than a “Like.”

* Sections used to be movable within the profile

* The writing should be error-free (reflects the writer and the profile)

* Nothing wrong with writing the recommendation, get approval from the recommender

* You don’t have to display all of your recommendations

* How many recommendations is enough

* Recommendations are no longer associated with the company
