HR Strange But True

Have Your ‘Particular Set of Skills’ Endorsed on LinkedIn

Having coworkers and past supervisors vouch for your skills on LinkedIn is a great feeling. Not only do you look good on paper, you look good to prospective employers. But imagine if a celebrity could vouch for your skills. How would you look then?

20th Century Fox is promoting the newest Taken movie in an unusual way. The company is holding a contest to promote Taken 3 and the lucky winner will have their skills endorsed by the star of the movie, Liam Neeson.

If you are unfamiliar with Neeson’s character—Brian Mills—or the trilogy, he has a “particular set of skills” that rivals that of most action movie stars. For example, Mills is great at contract negotiations (otherwise known as torture), international relationships (yelling at people in different languages), and recovering valuable assets (aka, saving his loved ones).

For the lucky winner, not only will they have a celebrity endorsing their skills, but they’ll also have a celebrity with a cool Irish brogue that will make any boring desk job instantly sound like the most interesting job in the world!
