LinkedIn Endorsements come in the form of testimonials from your connections posted on your LinkedIn profile.
Endorsements and skill endorsements can serve as references and third-party recommendations from others, so it’s a good idea to ask satisfied customers or co-workers to endorse you on your page. Then organize those endorsements by position.

- Build your LinkedIn profile by uploading your resume or CV to automatically populate some of the site. Make sure you use a photo since your credibility as a connections drops when there is no photo on your site!
- Connect to co-workers and clients on LinkedIn. Go down your client list first, then broaden your search to those people known as “2nd Connections”…connections to people you are connected to.
- Provide endorsements for your coworkers and clients to open the door to asking for an endorsement. Compliment others on their accomplishments and they will return the favor.
- Skill endorsements are a one-click way to compliment your 1st connections. You don’t need to ask for a skill endorsement to receive one. You also can add your own skills to this section, but are limited as to how many.
- Each time you open LinkedIn, look for a request to provide endorsements to others in your network. A window will pop up that says, “Does (Bill) know about public speaking? You can click yes to endorse that person for that skill.
