I’ve been lucky to receive written recommendations from many of my colleagues on LinkedIn (bless them). I took a moment to quote them in a list. I recommend doing this and reviewing it for yourself from time to time, if you ever need a self esteem boost. 😄
These are verbatim quotes about me from 29 recommendations from real coworkers of mine, in order of newest to oldest. I bolded some of my favorites. View them in full on my LinkedIn.
