Hi @phil-ranger, great thinking on utilizing existing recommendations! The answer is YES… but you must request your LinkedIn connection to leave you that recommendation on your profile.

Here’s how to do that:

 * Requesting a recommendation from your profile:

• Click the  Me icon at the top of your LinkedIn homepage.
  -Select View profile.
  -Scroll down to the Recommendations section and click Ask to be recommended.
  -Type the name of the connection you’d like to ask for a recommendation in the Who do you want to ask? field.
  -Select the name from the dropdown that appears.
  -Fill out the Relationship and Position at the time fields of the recommendations pop-up window, and click Next.
  -You can include a personalized message with your request by changing the text in the message field.
  -Click Send.

OR

To request a recommendation from a connection’s profile:

-Navigate to the profile of the 1st-degree connection you’d like to request a recommendation from.
-Click the More (…) icon in the top section of the profile.
-Select  Request a recommendation.
-Fill out the Relationship and Position at the time fields of the recommendations pop-up window, and click Next.
-You can include a personalized message with your request by changing the text in the message field.
-Click Send.

If you still not sure how to do this, come to the live call on Thursdays and we’d be happy to show you!
