A really nice way to do this is to go into your current and former colleagues LinkedIn profiles, and leave a recommendation for them. It will make their day!
Kenney@kenney.nl · 4w agoGot an hour to spare today or tomorrow? Leave some kind comments on things you enjoy. Tell a developer they're doing a great job, or let an artist know their work is incredible. It can make a big difference in someone's day, trust me.
A reminder that I’m STILL looking for work, either contract or FT, 18 months after Monolith was closed down by Warner Bros. Lemme put words in your characters mouths!!
