A simple structure to write a LinkedIn About section that tells your story and improves recruiter search visibility.

How to Write a Strong LinkedIn About Section

Your LinkedIn About section is your chance to speak in your own voice. Instead of copying your resume summary, use it to show personality, clarity, and direction.

Use a 4-Part Structure

  • Who you are and what you do.
  • What you’re good at (key skills and domains).
  • Proof through 2–3 achievements.
  • What you’re looking for next.

Write in First Person

Using “I” makes the section feel more human and easier to connect with.

Add Search-Friendly Keywords

Include role titles, tools, and skills recruiters typically search for in your domain.

End With a Simple Call to Action

CTA Example

“If you’re hiring for data/analytics roles or looking to collaborate on dashboard projects, feel free to reach out here on LinkedIn.”
