How to Get Endorsements on LinkedIn?

People who can give endorsements to you are generally your co-workers since they are the ones that witness your works and skills. Therefore, you may ask them to give you endorsements.

Moreover, some feedbacks come from LinkedIn users. It seems that most of the LinkedIn users like responding endorsements back. When you give endorsements to your connections, they may give endorsements to you too. However, you need to be careful because the endorsements you gave can affect your reliability directly. Thus, you should try to be objective.

Another way of getting endorsements on LinkedIn is that you can request recommendations from your connections. Firstly, write one of your connection’s name into the search box. When you enter their profile, you will see three dots on the page. After you click the dots, you will see questions about you and your connections relationship. If you filled the blanks asked, you can ask for recommendations.

Frequently Asked Questions About

I cannot see the endorsements that I submitted; why?

LinkedIn has a rule that you can give 150 endorsements in 24 hours. If you exceed the limit, you cannot give endorsements. Thus, you may need to wait a couple of days to give new endorsements.

I do not want someone to give me endorsements. How can I prevent them?

In your profile, there is a skills & endorsements section. In this section, also there is a pencil icon that means editing. Then, you need to change your endorsement settings. With this step, you will no longer get endorsements and hide the endorsements you got before.

I cannot see the endorsements that I got before; why?

For each profile, there is a skill limit, which is 50. If you have reached the limit, you may need to remove some of them to add new ones.
Another reason is that if you removed some skills from your profile page, your endorsements under that skill disappear. Thus, you need to re-add your skills. When you re-add them, your endorsements will come back too.
If you’re sure the problem is not about with the first two solutions, maybe your connection who endorsed you removed it. However, there is no way to learn it because of the privacy policy of LinkedIn.

I get my notifications by app, but I want to get them as e-mails too; is that possible?

When you entered your LinkedIn profile, there is a section named “Settings & Privacy.” In this section, you’ll see an option named “Communications.” With this option, you can edit the types of notifications.

I do not want to see a certain person’s endorsement on my profile; can I do that?

When people give you endorsements, you will get a notification that asks you whether you want to approve it. You may answer the notification in this way, so the endorsement will not be seen on your profile.
