hmmm...ive been thinking of making a Linkedin for a hot minute..just never got around to it.

Ill try to make one in the next few days and come back to this thread.

My girl does the same kind of thing on Instagram...
...her and some folks in the same industry like each others pictures, comment, etc... to boost their pictures in the system to get more customers.

Linkedin is kind of the same way...other companies, head hunters, customers, etc... see you on Linkedin and start looking at you as legit.

Do endorsements really matter if they come from outside your networking circle?

I have little to no endorsements but I stay getting job inquiries on LinkedIn, mainly cuz people see my employment history or see I'm connected to someone they know.

Maybe I'm thinking about it wrong but I don't see how fake endorsements aren't easily Id'd and ignored

All Endorsements are is someone "vouching" for your skills. Basically it's this:

I say I'm good at "marketing"

people who know me "endorse" it.

When job posters see my profile they can see, "oh 100 people endorse him for marketing"

So it gives me a little "boost" in their eyes that 100 people have endorsed my skills.

It's NOT the end all be all of a LinkedIn profile, but it doesn't hurt to have more rather than fewer endorsements on your skills :manny: if it didn't matter at all, I doubt they would include the feature.

A few brehs and I have also shared writing recommendations for each other :ehh:

I understand how endorsements work as I have legit ones.

But if I'm a recruiter and see some endorsements from people that aren't in your industry, company, or job function....I'm looking at you like you fraudulent.

I don't think recruiters look at individual endorsements like that breh :francis:

I'm not trying to be argumentative but I see my friends have 99+ endorsements on some traits. I don't think a recruiter is going to dig through those and see "who" is endorsing you, more than seeing that you are heavily endorsed.
