LinkedIn是一种极好的社交方式，可以结识潜在雇主，并在(LinkedIn)求职(job search)过程中从众多求职者中脱颖而出。在这个以职业为导向的社交媒体平台上尽最大努力是很重要的。LinkedIn技能评估提供了一种给人留下好印象的好方法。
如果您想展示某项特定技能，例如编码语言或使用特定软件程序，那么向其他人证明您确实了解这些技能可以让您领先一步。LinkedIn 的技能评估允许您展示您的技能知识(skill knowledge)证明。在本文中，我们将解释这些评估是什么，以及如何在您的个人资料中获取和使用它们。
什么是 LinkedIn 技能评估？(What Are LinkedIn Skill Assessments?)
在您的LinkedIn 个人资料(LinkedIn profile)中，技能部分(Skills section)允许您写出您最好的软技能或硬技能。软技能是难以精确衡量的特质，但可以让你成为一名优秀的员工——比如沟通、组织和解决问题的技能。相比之下，硬技能是可以衡量的能力——想想使用Office 应用程序(Office apps)、编程或驾驶叉车等技能。
一旦你列出了一些技能，其他人也可以给你认可。
如果您想展示您的技术技能知识(skill knowledge)，LinkedIn提供了一个技能评估功能，您可以使用它来询问您有关这些程序的问题。如果您在计算机科学相关领域工作，您可以找到许多评估，例如CSS、Java & Javascript、Python、HTML、Linux、机器学习(machine learning)等。
测验本身涉及 15 道选择题，每道题都有时间。参加测验后，如果您在参加测验的人中得分前 30%，您可以获得徽章以显示在您的个人资料上。如果您选择显示它，任何查看您的个人资料的人都可以看到它。
如果您没有通过(t pass)技能评估(skill assessment)，请不要担心；您将能够再次重新参加任何技能评估(skill assessment)。这可能是复习知识的绝佳机会。您的具体结果也不会显示给其他任何人。

如果你通过了怎么办(What to Do If You Pass)
如果你的分数在前 30%，干得好！您将通过LinkedIn为自己赢得(LinkedIn)技能徽章(skill badge)。在“在您的个人资料和招聘人员搜索中显示您的徽章”的文本旁边，确保开关已打开。(Next)这样，您的个人资料，尤其是“技能”部分(Skills section)看起来会更加令人印象深刻。
此外，当招聘人员在LinkedIn(LinkedIn)上搜索候选人时，如果他们有过滤器来寻找通过特定技能评估的人，您一定会出现！
如果您滚动到页面底部，您可以选择发布结果(Post Results)按钮来创建一个帖子，显示(post showing)您在此技能中获得了徽章。您无需执行此操作，因为无论如何徽章都会显示在您的个人资料(profile regardless)中。但是，如果您希望您的结果突出，发布它不会有什么坏处。

How to Take LinkedIn Skill Assessments to Boost Your Profile
LinkеdIn is an excellent way to network, meet potential employers, and stand out among a crowd of applicants during a job search. It’s important to put your best foot forward on this career-oriented social media platform. LinkedIn skill assessments offer a great way to make a good impression.
If you have a particular skill you’re trying to showcase, such as coding languages or using specific software programs, proving to others that you do know your way around them can put you a step above the rest. LinkedIn’s skill assessments allow you to showcase proof of your skill knowledge. In this article, we’ll explain what these assessments are, as well as how to take them and use them in your profile.
What Are LinkedIn Skill Assessments?
On your LinkedIn profile, the Skills section allows you to write out your best soft or hard skill sets. Soft skills are traits that are hard to measure precisely, but that make you a good employee—skills like communication, organization, and problem-solving. By contrast, hard skills are abilities that can be measured—think skills like using Office apps, programming, or driving a forklift.
Once you’ve got some skills listed, other people can also give you endorsements on them.
If you’re trying to showcase your technical skill knowledge, LinkedIn provides a skill assessments feature you can take that will ask you questions about these programs. If you work in computer science-related fields, you can find many assessments such as CSS, Java & Javascript, Python, HTML, Linux, machine learning, and more.
The quiz itself involves 15 multiple choice questions, and each question is timed. Once taken, if you score in the top 30% of people who have taken the quiz, you can earn a badge to display on your profile. This can be seen by anyone who views your profile if you choose to display it.
If you don’t pass the skill assessment, don’t worry; you’ll be able to retake any skill assessment once more. This can be an excellent opportunity to brush up on your knowledge. Your specific results also won’t be shown to anyone else.
How to Take LinkedIn Skill Assessments
Taking a skill assessment is easy, free, and you can get your results as soon as you finish the quiz. You can take them right within LinkedIn, following these steps:
- Click on your profile picture in the top-right corner and select View Profile.
- Scroll down to the Skills section of your profile. In the top right, select the button that reads Take skill quiz.
- If you know what you want to take an assessment on, you can search for it in the box in the top-right. Or, you can look through the Industry Knowledge or Tools & Technology sections.
- After finding the topic, click on it to go to its assessment page.
- You can see the specific details of the assessment here, as well as the rules for completing it successfully. At the bottom, there are buttons to either Practice or Start the assessment.
- If you want to see what the quiz is like and prep yourself, select Practice. Here you can try two questions without affecting your score and check your answers afterward.
- To take the actual quiz, select Start. You can also start the quiz right after doing the practice quiz.
- Keep in mind that if you exit the quiz at any point, you will lose all your progress, and you’ll have to start over.
Whether you pass or don’t pass the Linkedin assessments, you don’t need to share your results if you don’t want to. Below, we’ll outline what you should do in each case to best boost your LinkedIn profile.
What to Do If You Don’t Pass
If you don’t score in the top 30%, LinkedIn will let you know that they’ve unlocked Linkedin Learning courses for you relating to that specific skill. These can be good ways to brush up on your knowledge and will be available for 24 hours after starting them. However, you may also want to take to YouTube or do some practice on your own in your specific skill.
Once you feel like you have a better handle on it, you can come back to LinkedIn and go to the Skill Assessments page once more.
- On the right side of the screen, you’ll see a sidebar labeled Your Assessments that lists both the number of badges you’ve earned as well as the number of assessments you have to retake. Click on the To retake number to go to the skill assessments quickly.
- Find the skill you want to retake a quiz on, and click on the Retake button on the right side.
- At the bottom of the page, select Start.
It’s best to wait a bit until you’re sure you have a good handle of knowledge on your skill to retake the quiz. Also, if you aren’t sure of an answer to a question, the best and fastest method to guess a correct answer is to use the process of elimination.
What to Do If You Pass
If you scored in the top 30%, good job! You’ll earn yourself a skill badge through LinkedIn. Next to the text that reads “Show your badge on your profile and in recruiter searches”, make sure the switch is turned on. This way, your profile and especially the Skills section will look much more impressive.
Also, when recruiters are searching for candidates on LinkedIn, if they have a filter on to look for people who have passed specific skill assessments, you’ll be sure to show up!
If you scroll to the bottom of the page, you can select the Post Results button to create a post showing that you earned a badge in this skill. You don’t need to do this, as the badge will be displayed on your profile regardless. However, if you want your results to be prominent, it can’t hurt to post about it.
Make a Good Impression With LinkedIn Skill Assessments
These quizzes are an excellent way to give proof of your proficiency in skills to potential hiring managers and others with whom you’re networking. Assessments are free to take, and even if you fail, they won’t hurt your profile.
