Write a LinkedIn 'About' section in first person, 3-5 short paragraphs, based on my career details below. It should: open with a hook that captures what I do and the impact I create (not just a job title), include 2-3 concrete achievements with numbers where possible, convey my personality and working style briefly, and end with a clear line about what I'm looking for next: {{what_you_are_looking_for}}. Avoid corporate jargon, avoid starting with 'I am a [job title] with X years of experience,' and keep total length under 200 words.

My career background, roles, and achievements:
{{paste_career_background}}

Industry or field: {{industry}}
Tone I want (e.g., warm and approachable, sharp and direct, quietly confident): {{desired_tone}}

How to use

  1. Paste your career background and key achievements into {{paste_career_background}}
  2. Fill in your industry or field
  3. Choose a tone descriptor for {{desired_tone}}
  4. State what you're looking for next in {{what_you_are_looking_for}}
  5. Copy the result into your LinkedIn profile and adjust line breaks for readability

Example input

What I'm looking for: product management roles in climate tech. Background: 6 years in product, launched a carbon-tracking feature used by 50k businesses. Industry: climate tech. Tone: quietly confident.

Example output

A four-paragraph About section opening with 'I build products that make it easier for businesses to see and cut their carbon footprint,' followed by the 50k-business achievement, a note on collaborative working style, and closing with interest in climate tech product roles.

Customization tips

  • Ask for a shorter 100-word version for a more scannable profile
  • Request 2-3 alternate opening hooks if the first doesn't feel like you
  • If you're between industries, mention both so the model can bridge them naturally

FAQ

Will this sound like generic AI-written LinkedIn copy?
The prompt explicitly bans the common 'I am a [title] with X years' opening and jargon, which reduces generic-sounding output, but always read it aloud and tweak any phrase that doesn't sound like you.
Should I include every job I've had?
No, paste only your most relevant roles and achievements; too much raw history dilutes the focus of the About section.
Can I use this if I'm just starting my career?
Yes, focus the background input on projects, internships, or coursework achievements instead of years of experience.
How is this different from asking for a 'professional bio'?
This prompt is tuned specifically to LinkedIn's About section conventions and length, including a closing call-to-action about what you're seeking next.
What if I want a version without numbers or metrics?
Mention in customization that you don't have quantifiable metrics and the model will lean on qualitative achievements and specifics instead.
