✯✯✯ What are your areas of expertise? ✯✯✯ I'm sure you wanna know how to master you LinkedIn skills to boost your profile. Once the skills module has been activated you can easily add a maximum of 50 skills. LinkedIn always provide you some suggestion but in my opinion you need to carefully review them. Some skills are dramatically generic and ambiguous and are not effective at all. Be smart; choose skills that really count for your professional life, here you will find 5 tips & tricks to find them: 1)The skills must be relevant to your professional expertise. Relevant does mean that if you are able to use “Microsoft Word” maybe it is not the most relevant skill you must enter. We are not anymore in the 90’s and it is widely considered expected. 2)Don’t include skills that you don’t actually have in order to look better (Everyone hates cheaters! And having a skill without any endorsement is simply terrible. 3)Avoid to include skills that you are going to acquire (if you are studying something wait till you are abele to master properly the topic) 4)Look to other profiles related to your market to be sure you are using the right terminology. Remember to write the skills in the lingo of your audience. 5)Review your LinkedIn skills quite often, to be endorsed for skills you don’t have or simply not relevant for your purposes is a very bad way to communicate with your audience. ✓ How to master your LinkedIn skills ✓ How To Make The Most Of LinkedIn Endorsements ✓ Everything You Need To Know About LinkedIn Skills ✓ Hiding and Unhiding a Skill Endorsement ✓ Adding and Removing Skills on Your Profile ✓ How to Manage LinkedIn Endorsements ✯✯✯✯✯✯✯✯✯ FOLLOW ME ON: ❤ twitter : http://twitter.com/meritabiz ❤ twitter : http://twitter.com/gminguzzi ❤ instagram : http://instagram.com/gminguzzi ❤ YouTube : http://youtu.be/cNULE6lJUCg ❤ Website : http://www.merita.biz/linkedin-skills/ ✯✯✯✯✯✯✯✯✯ Photo Credits Flickr CC: https://www.flickr.com/photos/smi23le/4613342990 https://www.flickr.com/photos/madrideducacion-es/6850588393 https://www.flickr.com/photos/toptechwriter/2270846076 https://www.flickr.com/photos/owly/5278032303 https://www.flickr.com/photos/spiderdog/8280904447 https://www.flickr.com/photos/greyworld/6813149012 https://www.flickr.com/photos/h2oalchemist/1054133370 https://www.flickr.com/photos/familymwr/4928484952 https://www.flickr.com/photos/adamwilson/5845692053 https://www.flickr.com/photos/lucasartoni/14190630407/in/set-72157645039513871
