Endorse a connection's skill

This is real work, not a feature someone invented — it comes from real job ads and real questions people asked. Below are four ready AI prompts: get it done, make it easy for the next person to say yes to, work out the right move when you are stuck, and stop it coming back.

Endorse Maya’s skills on a professional networking site for Product Strategy and User Research. Add a quick note in the endorsement explaining I worked with her on the telehealth redesign that increased activation 15% and that I’d vouch for her strategic judgment in cross-functional teams.

Before I endorse Maya’s skills, make it credible: surface which project we collaborated on and one specific result — ‘telehealth redesign, 15% activation lift’ — and suggest a two-sentence endorsement text that names the skill and the context so hiring managers don’t dismiss it as a casual click.

I clicked to endorse but hesitated about adding a note.
I was about to endorse Maya’s Product Strategy skill but paused because endorsements sometimes look vacuous. I can’t tell whether a short note will be seen or ignored. What phrasing will make the endorsement look substantive and not overblown when it appears under her skills?

I endorse many connections but recruiters ignore them.
I routinely click endorsements for dozens of former colleagues, but recruiters tell me these endorsements rarely influence hiring decisions. I keep doing the same low-effort actions hoping they’ll help. Which habit should I change so my endorsements actually support someone’s candidacy?
when the reply comes backPush once: ask it to sharpen the weakest part, and to say what it assumed. Helpful?

Questions people actually ask

honest answers, no sign-up

Every task here was seen in the real world. Someone doing the job named it, a real job ad asked for it, or a lot of people asked about it online.

If nothing real showed a task, it is not on the page. That is the whole rule.

They are the same job approached four ways, because what you need depends on where you are.

Get it done today. Make it easy for the next person to say yes to. Work out the right move when you are stuck. Learn the pattern so the job stops coming back.

For most of these jobs it can carry the heavy thinking - draft it, sort it, check it, rehearse it with you.

It cannot sit in your chair, take the blame when a number is wrong, or notice what nobody wrote down. Let it do the first 80%. Keep the last 20% that is truly yours.

No. Copy any prompt and paste it into the AI you already use. No account, no score, no wall in the way.

Any of them. The prompts describe the work rather than naming a product, so they are not tied to one assistant.

That is also why they keep working when you switch.

Change it freely. Every prompt is a starting line, not a rule.

Put in your real numbers, your real names and your real deadline. The more you make it yours, the better the answer comes back.

The tasks come from real job ads, published job data and the questions people ask in public forums.

The steps come from LinkedIn's own documentation, with practitioner sources for the traps the manual does not mention.

Push once. Ask it to sharpen the weakest part and to say what it assumed.

Most wrong answers come from a missing detail rather than a bad prompt - tell it the thing it could not know.
