Most Popular Skills Employers Seek on LinkedIn
One of the most important parts of your LinkedIn profile is the Skills & Endorsements section. In that section, you can list your skills and other LinkedIn users can endorse them. You’ve probably noticed that LinkedIn asks if you want to endorse your connections. It’s easy to do by simply clicking on the skills LinkedIn suggested.
Why do they matter? LinkedIn reports that “Members who list skills on their LinkedIn profiles receive an average of 13 times more profile views than those who don’t.”
