# LinkedIn Headline Optimizer

Generates several LinkedIn headline options that go beyond your job title to signal value, searchable keywords, and what you're open to.

## Prompt

Write 5 LinkedIn headline options (each under 220 characters) based on my details below. Each headline should go beyond just my job title, include 1-2 searchable keywords relevant to my target roles, and briefly signal the value or specialty I bring. Vary the style across the 5: one keyword-dense/searchable, one benefit-focused, one that signals openness to new roles if I state that below, one concise and confident, and one that includes a specific achievement or number. Explain in one line each why that style might work for different goals (getting found by recruiters vs. impressing profile visitors).

Current role and industry: {{current_role_and_industry}}
Key skills or specialties: {{key_skills}}
Target roles or keywords I want to be found for: {{target_keywords}}
Am I open to new opportunities publicly? {{open_to_work_yes_or_no}}

## Best for

Job seekers and professionals who want their LinkedIn headline to work harder for search visibility and first impressions, not just restate their job title.

## How to use

- Fill in your current role and industry
- List your key skills or specialties
- State the target keywords or roles you want to show up in searches for
- Indicate whether you want to publicly signal openness to work
- Pick the headline style that matches whether you prioritize recruiter search visibility or profile-visitor impression

## Customization tips

- Ask for headlines in a specific language if your LinkedIn audience is international
- Request a version under 120 characters if you also want it to work well as a short bio elsewhere
- If you're a student or early-career professional, mention that so keywords shift toward potential rather than years of experience
