What does that mean for the job seeker (and the recruiter), you ask? Your skills and expertise are now in a new searchable section of LinkedIn! Maximize your profile with LinkedIn Skills – a whole new way to promote your unique skills & expertise, monitor what other skills professionals in your field boast, and explore similar skills and compare their growth relative to each other.

If you search for a particular skill, LinkedIn offers key people within that community, show the top locations for that skill, related companies, relevant jobs, and groups where you can interact with like-minded professionals. For example, lookup “iPhone” as a skill, and you will learn that it is the 57 fastest growing skill with a top location of San Francisco, CA and related to companies Apple Inc, Digital Chocolate and Zynga.
