Lesson Introduction
LinkedIn® features your Top 5 Skills in your About Section. You decide which 5 skills to feature by reordering your skills to showcase your top 5 skills.
Framework Note
Reordering skills is a strategy decision, not just a housekeeping task. Put the skills that best support your Primary Reason closest to the top. If you are job hunting, that may mean the skills recruiters search for. If you are generating business, it may mean the capabilities that make your offer credible. If you are building reputation, prioritise the subjects you want associated with your name.
Fox's Expert Tip
While the Top 5 are highlighted in your About Section, it’s the Top 3 that are likely to receive the most endorsements from visitors to your profile, so be sure to consider this when you ordering your Top 5.
