Testimonials can be either included on a resume or added in the recommendation section of your LinkedIn profile. Adding a testimonial or recommendation very quickly provides a credible and real-life source of positive feedback to your personal brand. Additionally, these will also successfully highlight your “soft skills” that do not necessarily come across in a resume or from a linkedIn profile.
“Testimonials and endorsements can help give your resume an edge over other candidates.“
