Where are LinkedIn's Skills Pages?

On LinkedIn's old interface, you could click on skills listed on a person's profile and get whisked away to a "Skills page" that provided key insights into that particular skill.
It looked like this:
LinkedIn's redesigned desktop experience has removed the link to the skills pages.
Now when you click a skill, you get a pop-up window that shows the people who endorsed the skill.
What happened to the Skills Page?
Did the LinkedIn developers simply forget to include the link? Is LinkedIn planning on retiring the Skills pages? Or are they still developing this part of the new design?
I do not know.
The good news is that the Skill pages are still accessible, even though they are not linked to the skills on a person's profile.
In order to access these Skills pages-- you need the direct link:

This link takes you to the topics directory where you can see an alphabetical listing of all the skills pages.
Voila!
Now you can use the Skills pages to do keyword research and see related skills. You can discover popular Pulse articles about the skill and by clicking on the author link, learn more about key influencers. You can also expand your network by seeing who on LinkedIn has the skills you need.
If you've never used the Skills pages before, you can learn all about them right at this link.

4 年Donna, the link to the Skills page in your article seems to be broken. I'm trying to find this page in accordance with the LI Help file but it's nowhere to be found! I just want to see the results for a quiz I took (and passed!) this morning but cannot figure out where to go to find it. Can you help?
