never be too nice, too rich, or have too many recommendations on your profile. As long as the recommendations are genuine, authentic, come from people within your network, and align you with your career future, you truly can’t have too many.
I have over 100 recommendations on my profile. I regularly go through and cull the weaker recommendations. I also make sure that the person who is recommending me is a person who is respectable and professional. Otherwise, I remove the recommendation. The ultimate advice I can give you is to accept and show genuine recommendations from good people and never be afraid to remove a recommendation.
In the next chapter, I show you how to jump in and start building your profile. Don’t worry, the very first thing I cover in Chapter 4 is how to turn off profile updates so your entire network isn’t alerted to the massive changes about to take place!
