在LinkedIn 上创建简历时(creating a resume on LinkedIn)，人们通常认为技能和认可(Skills & Endorsements)部分无关紧要。在本节中，您可以添加的技能没有限制，几乎任何人都可以认可您，无论您的专业知识如何。
但是，您在LinkedIn个人资料中的每个部分都可以用来展示您的专业知识和经验。技能(Skills)和认可(Endorsements)部分也不例外。LinkedIn最近推出了一种算法，为认可流程增加了结构，现在是学习如何在LinkedIn上认可某人以及如何获得认可的最佳时机。
为什么在 LinkedIn 上的认可很重要(Why Endorsements on LinkedIn Matter)
背书是LinkedIn的一项功能，让您有机会与(LinkedIn)LinkedIn上的其他用户分享您对他人技能的知识和看法。您可以访问某人的LinkedIn页面，找到您认为他们已经掌握的技能，并为此给予他们认可。
首先，认可证明您是您所在领域的专家。这是一种让与您共事或曾经与您共事的人验证您在LinkedIn 简历(your LinkedIn resume)中分享的有关您自己的信息的方式。
此功能还允许您与您的联系人保持联系，而无需主动与他们互动。当您在LinkedIn上为某人背书时，至少您会提醒他们您自己。在大多数情况下，人们倾向于回报你并支持你。
新的和更新的技能和认可如何运作(How the New and Updated Skills & Endorsements Work)
Linkedin最近添加了一种算法，以提高技能和背书(Skills & Endorsements)部分的效率。
您仍然可以选择任何您想要的技能类型，从WordPress到在线约会(Online Dating)，并将其中多达 50 项技能添加到您的个人资料中。然而，人们认可你的技能的方式已经改变。
当有人访问您的个人资料(When someone visits your profile)时，LinkedIn将分析您的个人资料并提供给其他用户以认可您也适用于他们的技能。这意味着您不仅会得到朋友和同事的认可，还会得到了解这些技能的人的认可。
如何在 LinkedIn 上为某人背书(How to Endorse Someone on LinkedIn)
多亏了LinkedIn用于用户认可的新算法，您甚至无需查看某人的个人资料即可找到您可以认可他们的技能。当您打开用户的页面时，LinkedIn会提示您认可他们的共同技能。然后，您可以跳过(Skip)或认可(Endorse)它们。
或者，按照以下步骤在LinkedIn(LinkedIn)上为某人背书。
- 打开LinkedIn并登录您的帐户。
- 从屏幕顶部的LinkedIn菜单中选择我的网络。(My Network)
- 从左侧的管理我的网络(Manage my network)菜单中选择连接。(Connections)
- 在您的连接中，找到您想要认可的人并转到他们的个人资料。您还可以使用 LinkedIn 的搜索栏(Search bar)搜索该人。
- 向下滚动，直到看到技能和认可(Skills & Endorsements)部分。
- 选择您希望为用户认可的技能。
- 此外，您可以在弹出菜单中回答有关用户的熟练程度（良好(Good)、非常好(Very good)或高度熟练(Highly skilled)）以及您对其专业知识的了解程度的问题。
- 选择提交(Submit)以将认可添加到用户的个人资料。
如何在 LinkedIn 上获得认可(How to Get Endorsed on LinkedIn)
在您在LinkedIn上获得认可之前，请检查您是否已将技能(Skills)部分添加到您的个人资料中。
要将此部分添加到您的LinkedIn页面，请按照以下步骤操作。
- 转到您的 LinkedIn 个人资料页面。
- 在页面顶部，选择添加配置文件部分(Add profile section)。
- 从向下箭头菜单中，选择技能(Skills)。
- 根据您的个人资料选择一些建议的技能(Suggested skills based off your profile)，或使用搜索栏添加您自己的技能。建议在您的个人资料中添加至少 5 个技能。
现在，您可以在LinkedIn(LinkedIn)上获得您的联系人和其他用户的认可。没有一种策略可以让别人支持你。通常，当您支持某人时，他们往往会支持您。这意味着，如果您想在自己的“技能(Skills)和认可(Endorsements)”部分看到更多活动，您应该从自己认可人们的技能开始。
当有人为您背书时，LinkedIn不会自动将背书添加到您的个人资料中。相反，您将在您的LinkedIn帐户上或通过电子邮件收到通知。只有在您查看并接受通知后，该认可才会添加到您的个人资料中。
所有的代言都好吗？ (Are All Endorsements Good? )
LinkedIn添加到该部分的另一个功能是能够删除不需要的技能并隐藏为他们背书的人。
这似乎没有必要，但拥有一堆与你的工作领域或一般简历无关的技能并不是最好的 LinkedIn 策略。您的技能(Skills)和认可(Endorsements)部分应支持您在个人资料中列出的专业经验。所以最好避免因为他们一无所知的事情而被随机的陌生人认可。
如何关闭代言(How to Turn Off Endorsements)
如果您觉得自己得到了太多人的推荐，而您不想获得推荐，您可以在LinkedIn上关闭推荐功能。
- 转到您的 LinkedIn 个人资料页面。
- 向下滚动，直到看到技能和认可(Skills & Endorsements)部分。
- 选择铅笔图标(pencil icon)以编辑该部分。
- 在弹出窗口中，选择调整背书设置(Adjust endorsement settings)。
- 切换我想要被认可(I want to be endorsed)以关闭您页面上的认可。
使用背书在 LinkedIn 上脱颖而出(Use Endorsements to Stand Out on LinkedIn)
升级个人资料的“技能(Skills)与认可(Endorsements)”部分是无需支付高级订阅费用即可充分利用(paying for the Premium subscription)领(LinkedIn)英的好方法。获得您的人脉和您所在领域的其他专家的认可将验证您的专业经验，并使您在其他专家中脱颖而出。

How to Endorse Someone on LinkedIn (and Get Endorsed)
When creating a resume on LinkedIn, people often dismiss the Skills & Endorsements section as irrelevant. In this section, there’s no restriction to what skills you can add, and pretty much anyone can endorse you no matter the expertise.
However, every section that you have on your LinkedIn profile can be used to showcase your professional knowledge and experience. The Skills & Endorsements section is no different. LinkedIn recently rolled out an algorithm that added structure to the endorsement process, making now the best time to learn how to endorse someone on LinkedIn and how to get endorsed yourself.
Why Endorsements on LinkedIn Matter
Endorsements is a LinkedIn feature that gives you an opportunity to share your knowledge and opinion about someone else’s skills with other users on LinkedIn. You can go on someone’s LinkedIn page, find a skill that you think they’ve mastered, and endorse them for it.
To start with, endorsements validate you as a specialist in your field. It’s a way for the people that work or used to work with you to verify the information you share about yourself on your LinkedIn resume.
This feature also allows you to stay in touch with your connections without actively interacting with them. When you endorse someone on LinkedIn, at the very least you remind them about yourself. In most cases, people tend to return the favor and endorse you back.
How the New and Updated Skills & Endorsements Work
Linkedin has recently added an algorithm to make the Skills & Endorsements section more efficient.
You can still choose any type of skill you want, from WordPress to Online Dating, and add up to 50 of those skills to your profile. However, the way people endorse you for your skills has changed.
When someone visits your profile, LinkedIn will analyze your profile and offer to the other user to endorse you for a skill that’s also applicable to them. That means that you won’t just get endorsements from your friends and colleagues, but also from people who are knowledgeable about those skills.
How to Endorse Someone on LinkedIn
Thanks to the new algorithm that LinkedIn is using for user endorsements, you don’t even have to look around someone’s profile to find the skills that you can endorse them for. When you open a user’s page, LinkedIn will prompt you to endorse them for a skill that you have in common. Then you can either Skip or Endorse them.
Alternatively, follow the steps below to endorse someone on LinkedIn.
- Open LinkedIn and sign into your account.
- Select My Network from the LinkedIn menu on top of the screen.
- Select Connections from the Manage my network menu on the left.
- In your connections, find the person you want to endorse and go to their profile. You can also search for that person using LinkedIn’s Search bar.
- Scroll down until you see the Skills & Endorsements section.
- Select the skill that you’d like to endorse the user for.
- Additionally, you can answer the questions in the pop-up menu about how skilled the user is (Good, Very good, or Highly skilled), and how you know about their expertise.
- Select Submit to add the endorsement to the user’s profile.
How to Get Endorsed on LinkedIn
Before you can get endorsed on LinkedIn, check if you have the Skills section added to your profile.
To add this section to your LinkedIn page, follow the steps below.
- Go to your LinkedIn profile page.
- On top of the page, select Add profile section.
- From the down-arrow menu, select Skills.
- Pick some of the Suggested skills based off your profile, or add your own skills using the search bar. It’s recommended to add at least 5 skills to your profile.
Now you can get endorsements from your connections and other users on LinkedIn. There’s no one strategy on how to get someone to endorse you. Normally, when you endorse someone they tend to endorse you back. Meaning that if you want to see more activity on your own Skills & Endorsements section, you should start by endorsing people for their skills yourself.
When someone endorses you, LinkedIn won’t automatically add the endorsement to your profile. Instead, you will receive a notification either on your LinkedIn account or via email. The endorsement will only be added to your profile after you view the notification and accept it.
Are All Endorsements Good?
One more feature that LinkedIn added to the section is an ability to remove unwanted skills and hide the people that endorsed you for them.
This might seem unnecessary, but having a bunch of skills that aren’t relevant to your field of work or your resume in general isn’t the best LinkedIn strategy. Your Skills & Endorsements section should back up the professional experience that you list on your profile. So it’s best to avoid getting endorsed by random strangers for something they know nothing about.
How to Turn Off Endorsements
If you feel like you’ve been getting too many endorsements from people that you don’t want to have recommendations from, you can turn off endorsements on LinkedIn.
- Go to your LinkedIn profile page.
- Scroll down until you see the Skills & Endorsements section.
- Select the pencil icon to edit the section.
- In the pop up window, select Adjust endorsement settings.
- Toggle off I want to be endorsed to turn off endorsements on your page.
Use Endorsements to Stand Out on LinkedIn
Upgrading the Skills & Endorsements section of your profile is a great way to get more out of LinkedIn without paying for the Premium subscription. Getting endorsed by your connections and other experts in your field will validate your professional experience and make you stand out among other specialists.
