Craft a standout LinkedIn About section
Tips to make your profile sound like the real you
Mix strategic storytelling with crisp metrics. Use these plays to turn your experience into a narrative people remember and respond to.
Quick metric recipe
Result = [Action] + [Metric] + [Impact]
Example: “Scaled a 4-person product pod that launched 3 features and lifted activation by 28%.”
Start with a hook
Open with the most impressive metric or defining mission so readers know instantly why you matter.
Show receipts
Translate achievements into impact. Replace “led a team” with “scaled a 6-person growth team that doubled MRR.”
Write how you speak
Aim for confident, conversational sentences. Pretend you’re answering “So what do you do?” at a meetup.
Build your mini-story arc
What drew you into the field?
Share the catalyst moment. Maybe it was your first product launch, a breakthrough experiment, or the problem you couldn’t ignore.
How do you create value today?
Bring out the proof. Projects shipped, teams scaled, markets entered—anchor it with numbers where you can.
What’s next?
Invite the right connections. Mention the problems you love solving or the opportunities you’re exploring next.
Do this 👇
- ✔Lead with the result before the responsibility.
- ✔Thread in 1–2 personal values to show how you work.
- ✔Close with the type of collaboration or opportunity you’re open to.
Skip this ❌
- ✘Paste your entire CV—curate the highlights instead.
- ✘Overload with buzzwords without context.
- ✘Forget to proofread. Typos undermine credibility fast.
