Читать книгу LinkedIn Profile Optimization For Dummies - Donna Serdula - Страница 55

One of the perks of writing the recommendation for the other person is how quick the recommendation is usually accepted and posted. My clients who accepted this advice have reported back that most people, when provided with a pre-written recommendation, post it almost immediately. You’ll know when the person responds because LinkedIn sends an email notification. In addition to the email, you also get a LinkedIn message from the person giving the recommendation. This message contains a preview of the recommendation and a link to manage your recommendations. Here’s how to accept it:

1 Go to your messaging screen by clicking the Messaging icon on LinkedIn’s main navigation bar.In your list of messages on the left is the recommendation the person wrote for you along with a link to review it.

2 Click the Review Recommendation link.A dialog box that shows a preview of the recommendation appears.

3 You can choose to either Dismiss, Ask For a Revision, or Add to Profile.

4 If you need to request a change, click Ask for a revision.

5 Type the reason you are requesting a change.To make it as easy for the person as possible, you may want to copy his or her previous recommendation, make the change yourself, and paste the recommendation into the messaging section.

6 Click Send.It may seem insulting and wrong to request a replacement, but it’s an important thing to do. You don’t want to publish a recommendation filled with typos. That would defeat the purpose of the recommendation.

7 If the recommendation looks great, click Add to Profile.
