LinkedIn Endorsements Now Available

No doubt by now you will already have seen the new LinkedIn Endorsements feature being put to use in recent weeks, whereby you have been asked to endorse connections based on specific skills that you feel they possess.  This practical feature now makes it easier to recognise them for their skills, knowledge and expertise.

Essentially with a single click you can endorse your connections for a skill that they have listed on their profile or recommend one they haven’t added yet. so for example if a specific connection is a wonderful presenter and orator you can endorse them for that.

To endorse your connections is very simple. 

• On the top of a connection’s profile, you’ll see recommended endorsements for them. You can suggest additional skills as well.
• You can also endorse them from the new Skills & Amp; Expertise section that now showcases these endorsements.

If anyone endorses you, LinkedIn will notify you via email. As well, you can  also scroll to the bottom of your profile page under “Skills and Expertise” to see the faces of people who have endorsed you in the various areas of skill either you or they nominated. You can also accept any new skills recommended by your peers that you may not have thought to include on your profile. At any stage you can also add a new skill by clicking on “add a skill” on your profile page. 

So what are you waiting for, go to it and start endorsing those that deserve it and until next time, good luck and good marketing.
