Tip 9Recommendation, Recommendations!If there is one section you do it is this one, having recommendations on your profile is really important. They apply to each of the job roles you have held so you’ll need to ask people to do them and get them added to your profile.

Tip 10Interact in the groupsThis is my most important tip, join groups that will help you. If you are looking for a job then find recruitment groups. If you are a business then join networking groups or specialist groups to help in your industry. Comment and create posts to raise your profile so people know who you are and what you have to say. Your groups will show on your profile.
