Читать книгу LinkedIn Profile Optimization For Dummies - Donna Serdula - Страница 46

Although I highly recommend embracing endorsements, there are some jobs in which endorsements are frowned upon. Financial advisors, for example, often prefer to opt out of LinkedIn’s endorsement feature for compliance and regulation reasons.

If you wish to opt out of receiving endorsements, follow these steps:

1 Open your LinkedIn profile.

2 Scroll down to Skills & Endorsements and click the pencil (edit) icon.

3 Click Adjust Endorsement Settings at the bottom of the screen.The Endorsements screen appears where you can manage how you receive and give endorsements, as shown in Figure 3-7.

4 Toggle “I Want to be Endorsed” from Yes to No.After selecting No, LinkedIn indicates that it will show your skills but not your endorsements. You can also opt out of having endorsements of your skills suggested to your connections. And you can also out of having your connections’ skills suggested to you for endorsement.

5 Click the X in the upper-right corner to save your changes and exit.
