There are many reasons why someone might want to endorse or write a recommendation for someone on LinkedIn but there are reasons to do so, and it's not about them, it's about you.
- Increasing visibility: Endorsing someone on LinkedIn increases your visibility on the platform. When you endorse someone, your name is associated with their profile and their skills. This can help you get noticed by others in your network who may be looking for someone with your skills and expertise.
- To strengthen your professional network: By endorsing or writing a recommendation for someone, you strengthen your connection with them and potentially open up new networking opportunities as they will remember you.
- Feels Good To Give: By showing appreciation for someone you have worked with someone and have been impressed with their skills and work ethic, endorsing or writing a recommendation for them on LinkedIn is a way to show you appreciate what they have done...who doesn't love being appreciated?
- Helps build your credibility: Endorsing or recommending someone on LinkedIn helps build your credibility. If someone is great at what they do then chances are they worked with great people as well.
- To showcase your own expertise: When you endorse or recommend someone for a particular skill or area of expertise, it helps highlight your own knowledge and experience in that area.
- To support a colleague: Endorsing or recommending someone on LinkedIn is a way to support a colleague in their professional pursuits, and help them achieve their goals. Help them, help you!
It is so simple and yet so effective to support others in your network while also benefiting yourself.
