I am glad to hear that you found the post useful.  Yes, I get those same requests for a recommendation every once in a while...I find it pretty bizarre, don&#039;t you?  As for the best method of receiving recommendations, I find no problem of soliciting recommendations because if you wait for them they may not happen.  One thing you can do is maybe make a few requests a month so that your recommendations hopefully grow at a natural pace.  Just tell the people that you want to recommend you that they make up an important part of your LinkedIn profile, and thus will help you gain more business or trust from your customers and/or colleagues.  Good luck with it!

You seem to have studied well the Linkedin program.  I am now starting a series of blogs on Linkedin and its Job Searching functions.  Perhaps you have some posts or comments on this area.  Look forward to seeing them.
