A worked example
You worked with Maria on a store reopening. You tell AI that she organized volunteers, stayed calm during a delay and trained three new staff. It drafts four sentences. You swap in the name of the store, add that she always answered messages within an hour, and post it. Maria sees a specific, believable recommendation.
A good recommendation includes
Write one, step by step
- Jot notes. Projects you worked on and results.
- Ask for a draft. "Write a warm 120-word LinkedIn recommendation."
- Add a real detail.
