    A LinkedIn Recommendation Framework:

     

    Step 1: Begin with a "Standout Line":

    The will to read a passage starts with a proper start. So attract the audience with a special line which will show them how valuable the person is. Don't just stick with "He’s the Best" or such common ones, because it’ll make the audience bored.

    "All in one Package" is the phrase that came to mine when it comes to Jason.

     

     

    Step 2: State how you know him/her:

    Once done with the Standout Line, explain how you know him/she. It maybe you worked with or for how long you were working and all. Which gives an idea that you’re close to the person to be recommended.

    "I've had the great privilege to be working with Jason for more than 3 years at Stock company, and have partnered with him on many projects."

     

     

    Step 3: state his/her specialty out of others:

    Try to give away a good comparison of him or her with the rest so as the readers would starting to see he or she is special. In writing a recommendation make the reader think that the person referring to is of many qualities such as talented, hardworking, team working, smart and etc.

    "Jason’s ability to proceed with multiple projects was a drastic difference from the rest team mates."

     

     

    Step 4: Don’t forget to add some personality:

    If we want to hire someone for a particular job we all love to hear what he or she possess and about the personality. Like how you felt working with him such so, to make the audience understand that he/she is not only great with work related but so as with qualities.

    "No matter how hardworking she was, she always wore a smile on her face."

    -or-

    "And the tournament misses him so bad."

     

     

    Step 5: Summarize him/her with strong recommendation:

    State your ending with strong line so as to think the reader had quite of a good hear of his or hers abilities and qualities. There’s no need to end with a short statement, make it big and worthy.

    End it with line so that the reader would get a proper positive thumbs up with the person referring to in the recommendation.

    "Jason would be the key to success in your organization!"

    -or-

    "He’ll make your competitors run away."

     

     

    Step 6: Put it all together:
