LinkedIn is a valuable tool for those looking for a new job, and a strong, visible profile is key.
Alicia Luque is a talent-acquisition partner at LinkedIn in the Europe, Middle East, Africa area.
A large network can also mean you're more likely to be recommended by LinkedIn connections for open positions, something many companies encourage their staff to do, Luque added.
LinkedIn profiles that list five or more skills receive 27 times more contacts from other users, Charlotte Davies, a careers expert at LinkedIn, previously told Insider.
You can also use LinkedIn's Skills Assessments feature, which allows you to carry out assessments on the skills you've listed on your profile.
