Are You Linked? Beginning to Use LinkedIn Successfully (Part II)

You have begun creating a well-rounded profile, but you aren’t finished yet. 

Recommendations

Ask for a recommendation from a past employer, coworker and classmate.  These recommendations allow potential employers and clients get a sense of your work ethics, accomplishments and reputation. 
As you ask for recommendations, be certain to write a few for your connections as well.  They will certainly appreciate it.

Summary
Adapt your networking profile to use in the summary section of your profile.  As your career develops, modify your summary. 

These are just a few more details to make your LinkedIn profile stand out.
