Connect skills to proof
Best approach: choose skills that match your target role, then support them in your headline, About, Experience, projects, education or certifications. Relevance matters more than filling all 100 available slots.
Build your skills shortlist
Select a target role, keep only skills you can demonstrate, and optionally paste a job description to see direct phrase matches.
This is a planning aid, not a skills assessment. Keep only skills you genuinely possess and can explain in an interview.

How to choose and prove LinkedIn skills
- Start with the target role: compare several suitable job descriptions and note recurring, accurate skills.
- Prefer specific terms: use recognized methods, domains and tools instead of vague claims such as “hard-working.”
- Connect skills to evidence: LinkedIn allows skills to be associated with Experience, projects, education and credentials.
- Reorder for relevance: place the skills most important to your current target near the top.
- Remove outdated entries: a focused list makes your professional direction easier to understand.
LinkedIn currently allows up to 100 skills in the main Skills section and categorizes larger lists across industry knowledge, tools and technologies, and interpersonal skills. It also lets members show where each skill was used.
