LinkedIn Profile Skill

LinkedIn is two audiences at once: a search algorithm (recruiters filter by keywords) and a human who decides in the first two lines whether to keep reading. This skill optimises for both — a keyword-rich headline, an About section that hooks then proves, and achievement-led experience — so the profile gets surfaced and converts the click.

Required Inputs

Ask for these only if they aren't already provided:

  • Current role, target role/industry, and the keywords recruiters in your field search for.
  • Your achievements & specialties — the proof, with numbers where possible.
  • Goal — open to roles, building authority/inbound, or selling/consulting? (changes the About CTA).
  • Voice — LinkedIn About is first person; pick formal vs. warm.

Output Format

Headline (≤220 chars) — not just your job title: role + value + keywords. e.g. "Senior PM · B2B SaaS & PLG · I turn messy roadmaps into shipped outcomes." Keyword-rich for search.

About (first person, 3–5 short paragraphs):

  • Hook (first 1–2 lines — all that shows before "see more"): a specific, intriguing opener, not "I am a passionate…".
  • Proof: what you do and the results, with numbers.
  • Specialties / keywords: a natural line or list of the terms recruiters search.
  • CTA: what you want (open to X, reach out about Y).

Experience bullets — for the top roles, achievement-led bullets (same standard as a resume: action → impact → metric), lightly more narrative than a CV.

Skills list — the 10–15 keyword skills to add (LinkedIn ranks search partly on these), ordered by relevance to the target role.

Quality Checks

  • The headline goes beyond the job title — value + searchable keywords
  • The first 1–2 lines of About hook before the "see more" fold
  • About is first-person and ends with a clear CTA tied to the goal
  • Target-role keywords appear across headline, About, and skills (for search)
  • Experience bullets are achievement-led with metrics, not duties

Anti-Patterns

  • Do not make the headline just your title — it's prime keyword + value real estate
  • Do not bury the hook — the opening lines are all most viewers see; don't waste them on "passionate professional"
  • Do not write About in third person — LinkedIn is personal; "I" converts better
  • Do not ignore keywords — recruiters filter by them; a profile without them is invisible to search
  • Do not copy the resume verbatim — LinkedIn is warmer and slightly more narrative
