Inspiration for today’s blog came in the form of a LinkedIn message I received this week asking for a recommendation. Some context: I have never worked with, spoken to or had any correspondence with this person, but they thought I’d be the best person to recommend them to potential future employers. Hmm.

I do not recommend or endorse anyone I don’t believe has a certain skill set. I recommend only those colleagues I know, have worked with or done business with.
So true. I do not know 95%of the people that endorsed me. The problem as I see it is two fold. One, we as a non-profit company need all the help we can get to have the people in our related fields see what we do. Sooooo, linkedin works to a point. Two,the way they are set up you can not get to who you need unless you pay for their big program and then it is still limited. We need a way to verify the people and their jobs on the pages we see on linkedin.
