Quick Tip: Pay it Forward by Giving a LinkedIn Recommendation

Networking is about giving. Be generous with your time and offer to help your contacts out to help build and develop your network. An easy way to pay it forward from the comfort of your own desk/home is to give a LinkedIn Recommendation.

A recommendation is a great way to show others (e.g. potential clients or potential employers) what your network has experienced while working with you. By giving recommendations, it also makes it easier to ask others to return the favour at some point (or they may even return the favour without an express prompt).
