LinkedIn and online profiles alongside your resume
How do I write my LinkedIn About section?
Write a short, first-person summary of what you do, what you are good at, a few achievements and what you are looking for. It can be warmer and longer than a resume summary, but should still be focused.
A simple structure:
- Who you are and what you do, in one or two sentences.
- Your main areas of expertise.
- Two or three achievements with results.
- What you are interested in next, and how to contact you.

Use short paragraphs and include relevant keywords naturally. Avoid repeating your resume word for word.
