Do people use LinkedIn recommendations? Is it a thing again? I remember asking and receiving them a long time ago. I came across a few LinkedIn profiles with updated recommendations. My last one is from 2014.

Doesn’t hurt

Not always, but there was 1 candidate that had a referral from someone that meant a lot to us, so doesn’t hurt! I would aim for less, but more senior individuals/old bosses or mentors.

It's a thing. If no one will vouch for you and your work, it looks sus.

I’m just about 100% sure they make no difference whatsoever

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️
