How to send to a specific section on LinkedIn
-
Hi, Im trying link a button to a specific LinkedIn section, but due to LinkedIn load(I think) It doesn’t go to that ID.
For exemple: Let’s say I want to redirect my viewers to this LinkedIn, and to the “skills” section:
https://www.linkedin.com/in/conanobrien/#skillsThats not possible by just clicking on that link.
How can I manage to do that?Thanks in advance!

Hi there!
It doesn’t appear that LinkedIn creates any anchor links called
skillsin order to do what you’re wanting to accomplish. There’s nothing we can do on our end to affect that behavior.A quick Google search brought up this article on LinkedIn that should help you figure out what you need to do in order to get that specific link:

If you have trouble, reach out to LinkedIn support for help.
I hope that helps!

Hey, thanks for the response!
LinkedIn have a id=”skills” which is should be enough to, that link is the proof of that

For some reason if I type https://www.linkedin.com/in/conanobrien/#skills it doesn’t send me to the skills section, but if I type https://www.linkedin.com/in/conanobrien/ hit enter and then add “#skills# and hit enter again, it sends me to that section.
Thank you once again

Hi there,
On our end, we’re not in control of the load behavior of outside sevices. While anchor links like that do tend to work on most websites, LinkedIn is coded more of a “web app” than a simple website, so that technique is not guaranteed to work.
I’m afraid the only way to gain insight on this would be to contact LinkedIn support, we do not have a solution on this end that you could use.
Let us know if you need further assistance or if you have any questions.
