“丽莎已经推荐你!”

Awww, she has?!

When I get a LinkedIn recommendation from someone I respect and admire professionally, I feel both honored and encouraged to return the favor. But for some reason, I always get writer's block. I never know how to start or what to say -- only that I like this person's work and I want others to know it.

不幸的是,简单地写“丽莎是最好的!!!”不反映丽莎的技能 - 而且它看起来像是一个傻瓜。

幸运的是,在过去的几周中,我写了一些LinkedIn的建议,我认为结果很好,它们反映了一种在随后的建议中易于复制的模式。我以为我会与遭受同一作家障碍的其他人分享这种模式。

在此处下载我们的LinkedIn的最终指南,以获取有关如何将LinkedIn用于专业网络的更多提示。

您可以使用这是一个快速的“模板”,它可以使LinkedIn推荐对您推荐的人进行具体,诚实,简洁和有用。

1.解释你的职业关系的本质nship.

That sounds really serious, but it's simply a helpful piece of context that acts as an "intro" for your recommendation. Whether it's a coworker you've worked closely with for years, a manager, a direct report, a point of contact at an agency, or something else entirely, it sets the stage for the reader to learn why you're writing this recommendation.

例如:

I've worked alongside Lisa for close to two years now.

2. Provide details of the position for which you're recommending the person.

Are you recommending this person for their work in one position? Or are you writing about their work across multiple jobs they've held while you worked with them? Either way, a great next step is to explain some of the notable parts of their job(s). It may feel strange -- kind of like you're listing out their job description. But this is very helpful for anyone reading the recommendation, looking to get a feel for what precisely it is they did in their job.

Resist the urge to create a laundry list of their job duties. If they've really worn that many hats, I recommend contacting them to see if there's a certain part of their role they'd like emphasized over others.

例如:

在这两年中,我看到她不仅在工作的核心要素(例如文案写作和复制)中表现出色,而且还学习其他任务,这些任务远远超出了她的角色范围,例如电子邮件营销,活动策划,活动策划,策划,活动计划,甚至支持我们公司的内部沟通。bob全站app

3.解释他们如何在公司成长。bob全站app

如果此人向您报告(或曾经报告),LinkedIn建议的这一方面可能会有很长的路要走。解释您推荐的人如何成长(无论是角色还是从一个角色到另一个角色),可以证明随着组织的扩展,可以适应适应的能力。

请注意,不要夸大人职业生涯中的任何低点,以稀释您要突出的增长的价值。

例如:

Lisa has grown as quickly as our business has, and her willingness to learn and take on these new responsibilities is something to be desired in any professional.

4.指出他们的贡献如何帮助发展团队或公司。bob全站app

This could be an explanation of how their performance helped hit hard metrics, or it could demonstrate a contribution toward more esoteric things, like leading their teammates or fostering new initiatives.

例如:

丽莎(Lisa)掌握了她的核心角色以及超出其范围的项目,对公司的增长至关重要。bob全站app实际上,她进行内部公司的沟通与员工幸福的急剧增长保持一致。bob全站app

5.解释这些成就对该人的揭示。

By now, you've included some specifics -- so let's explain what those specifics mean for the larger theme of your recommendation. Do the examples you've detailed reveal that person is hard-working? Ambitious? Great for team morale? Connect their accomplishments with their attributes.

例如:

这种罕见的生产力和野心的结合为团队的其他成员树立了一个很好的榜样,并解释了为什么每个人都喜欢与丽莎合作 - 无论他们落在ORG图表上。

6. End with a note about the personal aspect of working with him/her.

在本节中,通过提及您与人合作的感觉,对他们的职业的希望,或者只是对他们的未来的预测,请访问消息回家。

例如:

尽管丽莎(Lisa)的工作继续为她的任期付出了很长时间,但我当然会想念她每天与她合作。我对她的职业轨迹有乐观的预测。

LinkedIn Recommendation Sample (for a Manager)

Now, writing a LinkedIn recommendation can seem easier said than done. What if the employee you're recommending is your优越的?这可能会使推荐该人更加困难 - 即使您在说关于他们的杰出事情。

To avoid sounding patronizing or tone deaf when addressing a higher-level professional, here's a sample LinkedIn recommendation -- written in full -- that a manager would be proud to receive (notice how it embraces every step outlined above).

I've worked for Lisa for two years, and in those two years, I've seen her quickly take on new responsibilities while having the time to teach this information back into her employees. By inheriting tasks like campaign analytics and email A/B testing -- both of which extend beyond the scope of our team -- she's made our department much more agile, and set me up for a promotion last month. Lisa is as great a person as she was a manager, and her next employer will be lucky to have her.
