Use this interactive demo to learn how to showcase your skills on your LinkedIn profile.

Quick summary

Adding skills to your LinkedIn profile increases your visibility to recruiters and helps your profile appear in relevant LinkedIn searches. This guide walks you through exactly how to navigate to the Skills section and save new skills in just a few clicks.


Steps

  1. Go to your profile page on LinkedIn.
  2. Scroll down to the Skills section on your profile.
  3. Click the 'Add Skills' button to open the skills editor.
  4. Add your skills and click 'Save' to add them to your profile.

📌 Why this matters

Adding skills to your LinkedIn profile is one of the most impactful ways to improve your discoverability on the platform. Recruiters and hiring managers actively filter candidates by skills, meaning a complete Skills section directly increases your chances of appearing in relevant searches. LinkedIn also uses your listed skills to surface your profile in job recommendations and 'People Also Viewed' results. Keeping your skills up to date signals professional credibility and helps your profile stand out in a competitive job market.
