1

The Hook

Example: Who you help + how you help them + what results you deliver

💡 Lead with impact, not 'I am a...'

2

Your Story

Example: Your career arc in 2-3 sentences. Show progression and purpose.

💡 Focus on the 'why' behind your career moves

3

Key Achievements

Example: Include 2-3 specific metrics: revenue growth, team size, project scope

💡 Numbers make you credible. Estimates are fine.

4

Your Philosophy

Example: What drives you? How do you work? What do you believe?

💡 This adds personality and makes you memorable

5

Call to Action

Example: Tell readers what to do: connect, follow, message, visit your portfolio

💡 Profiles with CTAs get 3x more connection requests

Full example: "I help B2B SaaS companies turn their LinkedIn presence into a predictable lead source. Over 8 years, I've launched 12 products and driven $15M in revenue. My approach combines data analysis with creative strategy. When I'm not optimizing, I'm hiking. Connect if you're passionate about growth."

FAQs

How long should my LinkedIn About section be?
2,000-3,000 characters is the ideal length. Long enough to tell a compelling career narrative with specific achievements, short enough to keep the reader's attention. Use our free About Section Generator to get a customizable 5-block template tailored to your role and industry.
Should I write in first person or third person?
First person is strongly preferred by recruiters and hiring managers. It feels more authentic, personal, and confident — like you're telling your own story. 90% of high-performing LinkedIn profiles use first person, and LinkedIn's algorithm doesn't penalize either style.
What keywords should I include?
Include your target job title, industry-specific terminology, 3-5 hard skills (tools, technologies, methodologies), and 2-3 soft skills (leadership, communication, strategic thinking). Use our free Profile Checklist to track which keywords you've covered across each section.
How do I make my About section stand out?
Lead with a specific measurable result or impact statement in your first sentence. Use metrics throughout — revenue figures, percentage improvements, team headcounts. End with a clear call to action telling readers what to do next. Most About sections start with 'I am a...' — avoid that opener and you'll stand out immediately.
Should I mention my current company?
Yes, if the company adds credibility to your positioning. Mention your role title and specific achievements there. If you're actively job searching and need discretion, describe your role more generically to avoid signaling intent to your current employer.
How often should I update my About section?
Every 3-6 months or whenever you change roles, acquire new certifications or skills, or pivot your career focus. Even small keyword updates can improve your search ranking — LinkedIn favors recently-edited profiles in search results.
