There are probably tens of thousands of skills in the LinkedIn skill set, and there is no API to download this. You can go to http://www.linkedin.com/skills/ and type in some skills that are relevant to the website or volunteering organization and you will get lists of related skills - you can probably pull together a pretty comprehensive list by following the chains of skills. |

It is very simple. Go to your peers or role models in your field and review the skills they list. Then start entering those that you feel fit you the most. From this you will not only get a Best Practice list but one that fits those whom you admire the most. This is not rocket science it is the art of people networking. |
