Guide to Linkedin Endorsements
2.
Linkedin Endorsements A fantastic
new feature has been added to Linkedin profiles, which you can use to develop and share your reputation, called ‘Endorsements’. The concept behind these is a bit like ‘Recommendations’, but rather than the potentially complex process of asking, waiting, reminding, receiving and then finally writing or rewriting the end result until both parties are happy. Endorsements are a lot simpler and easier to use. Endorsements also hold much potential, as they are able to flow across our social audience, as opposed to the existing text based recommendations, which often need direct interaction from a visitor. Linkedin also recently moved the ‘Recommendation Summary’ from the main profile box meaning much less visibility of these on your profile. Although a simple concept, ‘Skills & expertise ’ and ‘Endorsements’ don’t always work as you would first imagine, so we put together this basic guide to help. Skills & Expertise The ‘Skills & Expertise’ section on Linkedin has been around for a while and can easily be added to your personal Linkedin profile. You can find the right section under the ‘More...’ heading at the top the page as in the image below. © Knowledge Bank Onprofile Ltd. All rights reserved.
3.
Adding Skills and
Expertise to your Profile You can add up to 50 ‘Skills and Expertise’ categories to your profile. Simply type them in the box and it will offer some suggestions for relevant skills. As you will see later, it may make sense to start small and add the main areas you feel would like to be endorsed for first. Once you have built up some endorsements, you can add more skills later. What is appearing in my profile when people visit? This is difficult to assess for yourself, as when you visit your own profile, you aren’t given the option to endorse yourself, so there are three ways we have discovered to find out. 1. Set up another profile, connect to yourself and then see what is listed in the ‘Blue box’ when you visit your own profile. 2. Ask your connections to visit your profile and then feed back what they are being shown. 3. Wait until people start endorsing the skills they are offered and Linkedin will then ask then you if you want to accept these. The third method is risky and wasteful, as you may have to refuse endorsements to avoid becoming ‘over-endorsed’ in a skill you don’t want to prioritise. © Knowledge Bank Onprofile Ltd. All rights reserved.
4.
Here is an
example of what is shown when you visit my profile. Although I do have all of the above skills, currently, I would rather not be primarily known for my ‘Data Admin’ skills or ‘Telemarketing’ expertise, as they are based on previous experience and not a priority right now. Herein lies the potential problem. As far as I can tell, by using method 1 and 2 above, this box is being shown to all new visitors to my profile. You may also notice the big yellow ‘Endorse’ button. When visitors press the big yellow button, it endorses all of these skills at once. As Linkedin had selected these skills for me, I was rapidly becoming the world’s leading Data Admin, so I took some immediate action and deleted ‘Data Admin’ from my list of skills. Which did nothing to stop it appearing! In fact, as far as I can tell, it is still recommending this skill to my visitors (as you can see above). One week after I deleted it completely from my profile, it is still one of my ‘default five’. Maybe it’s my destiny. I have contacted Linkedin support asking them if they plan to amend this but unless they change it, it may be better to choose the skills & expertise you want to prioritise before you start asking for endorsements. In an extreme case, you may end up being the leading expert in balloon folding, morris dancing or ear wiggling. Admittedly, these are great skills to have, but not when applying for a role as a cardiac surgeon. What if I don’t choose any skills? If you don’t have any ‘Skills & Expertise’ defined, it appears that Linkedin may try to guess which of these you have might. Our research seems to indicate that their guesses are based on your connections and their own skills, as well as other factors. © Knowledge Bank Onprofile Ltd. All rights reserved.
5.
Depending on your
connections, this could mean the skills that are being shown to your visitors, are not necessarily those which you would choose. If that is the case, ideally, you need to define the skills & expertise you actually want to be recognised for. As you can see below, this is Peter. He has no skills; in fact he also has no history or connections. That is because we just created him to test what happens and see how it works. Linkedin seems to be inferring his skills, based on either the company he is working for or his connections – in this case just me. (If that is the case, I am a bit surprised he isn’t a ‘Data Admin’ though). On the basis of our thoroughly unscientific research, we would recommend adding at least 5 skills to your profile to give the ‘Blue Box’ a head start. Ok, now we have some skills added and we have requested some endorsements from our connections – what next? Moving mountains A great, little known or used feature of Linkedin, is the ability to move the different sections of your profile page around. If you want to make your new endorsements more visible, simply click on ‘Edit Profile’ which you can find on the ‘Profile’ menu. Once here simply hover over the section header, as in the image below, and the cursor will change to a cross shaped arrow like this Drag and Drop Drag the ‘Skills & Expertise’ section to the top of your profile and then everyone who visits your profile can revel in your skills and expertise ‘face mountain.’ © Knowledge Bank Onprofile Ltd.

Can I remove
some endorsements from my profile? Linkedin thought of that too. The good news is that like Recommendations, Linkedin have added the ability to hide specific endorsements. This means that you can always change them and hide them after you have been given them. In a scenario where you are looking at a new role with specific skill requirements, this could be very powerful for showing your specialism in that area while keeping all of your other endorsements for another time, without deleting them. It is also handy for removing the likes of starcraft, cheese rolling or microwaiting from your skills platoon. © Knowledge Bank Onprofile Ltd. All rights reserved.
7.
Deleting a skill
or expertise completely. If you really don’t want a skill to be listed and you don’t want to hide it from view, you can completely delete skills and expertise from your profile. Simply return to the ‘Edit Skills and Endorsements’ page and click the cross inside the blue box. Be aware that there is no confirmation box, it just gets removed instantly from your profile. Summary Linkedin Endorsements are a great feature for building your personal reputation. Using this guide, hopefully, you can make this work for you and your business. Many people feel a little uncomfortable asking for full recommendations, so this could provide a much simpler and easier way to enhance your profile. NB This isn’t intended to be a complete guide to Linkedin Skills & Expertise or Endorsements and no doubt these may also develop and change in the coming months, so we will try to update this when those changes occur. If you want to know more about other Linkedin features you can also visit www.Linkedin.com and learn more from the experts. © Knowledge Bank Onprofile Ltd. All rights reserved.
