#TuesdayTips - When looking for a job, don't do these 5 things on LinkedIn!
1. Don’t reach out to a potential boss before your interview.
2. Don’t look for love in all the wrong places (i.e., LinkedIn).
Sure, some people use social media to score a date or look for a long-lost love. That’s fine for some sites, but not LinkedIn.
3. Don’t endorse people you don’t know.
Be careful not to jeopardize your brand-and your reputation-by making moves that could cause a hiring manager to doubt your credibility. You should only endorse people you know and can vouch for on LinkedIn.
4. Don’t send out generic connection requests.
Instead, you should tailor your invitations to allow people to remember who you are and how they know you.
5. Better yet, don’t connect with those you have nothing in common with.
The important thing to remember about LinkedIn is that it’s not a popularity contest. After 500 connections, LinkedIn stops counting—even if you might not.
This isn’t Facebook, and having 3,787 friends doesn’t make you any cooler on LinkedIn than having a few hundred solid contacts and connections. In fact, it might dilute your social media presence to have connections that make no sense with what you and your brand are about. So try to focus on having contacts that have a direct connection with the type of job you’re looking for and are relevant to your industry.

#TuesdayTips While candidate-supplied recommendations are sometimes looked upon with a certain degree of skepticism (after all, candidates aren’t likely to provide negative recommendations), they are still an important part of the job search process.
HR professionals, recruiters, hiring managers, and others do look at references—whether supplied by candidates, or sought out on their own, to provide insights into a candidate’s past job performance, work ethic, and ability to communicate and work well with others.
Here are some best practice recommendations from those in the know about how to go about asking for recommendations. Visit the link for more information about these tips! https://www.militaryhire.com/blog/best-practices-for-asking-for-recommendations/.
