How to Add Skills to LinkedIn
LinkedIn is a powerful business-orientated social networking site featuring various ways to communicate with clients or potential employees and display your portfolio. LinkedIn acts as an online resume, so it is useful to show all your best skills on the profile. You can add any skills that might be work or business related and you do not need to attribute them to specific roles. LinkedIn allows you to easily manage your skills list by editing your main profile.

Type the name of a skill in the skills box. These skills do not necessarily need to have been gained in a professional environment. For example if you have ever planned a large party or wedding, you can add "events planning" or "events management" as a skill. In a work environment, if you ever had to learn a lot of information about a client or job, you could add 'research' as a skill. Repeat with all the skills you want to add.
