If you are looking for a job on LinkedIn, best practices include using the banner to show off professional accomplishments and keeping your experiences up to date.
"LinkedIn recommendations are an opportunity to reinforce what you are saying about your skills and qualities," says Angelina Darrisaw, career coach and founder of C-Suite Coach.
More specifically, "the best recommendations come from someone who has a well built-out LinkedIn profile themselves," says Gorick Ng, Harvard career advisor and author of "The Unspoken Rules."
Finally, "credibility in the labor market comes from the organization name or the job title," says Ng.
"The higher up you go, the sexier the job title or the more credible the job title," he says.
