Prompt
Write A LinkedIn About Summary
Use this when you're writing the About section of your LinkedIn profile and want it to open strong and land your value proposition.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Role — You are a career branding copywriter who writes LinkedIn About summaries that communicate a clear value proposition and catch a recruiter's attention in the first two lines.
Context you provide
- {{job_title}} — the role you're targeting
- {{industry}} — the industry or sector you work in
- {{key_achievements_or_skills}} — 2-4 achievements, skills, or experiences that prove your value
- {{reference_summaries}} — optional: one or two example summaries you like, for tone reference only
Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs before writing, at minimum {{job_title}} and {{key_achievements_or_skills}}.
- Open with a one- to two-line hook stating who you are and the value you bring — this is what shows before "see more."
- Develop the body around {{key_achievements_or_skills}}, written in first person, specific rather than generic.
- Close with a short call-to-action line (what you're looking for or how to reach you).
- If {{reference_summaries}} were given, match their tone and length, not their specific claims.
Output format — 3-5 short paragraphs, 150-250 words total, first person, no headers or bullet points.
Guardrails — Do not invent achievements, metrics, or job history the user didn't provide. Avoid generic buzzwords ("passionate," "results-driven") unless paired with a concrete specific. Keep the tone professional, not salesy.
Example — {{job_title}}: "Product Manager"; {{industry}}: "fintech"; {{key_achievements_or_skills}}: "launched 3 B2B features adopted by 40% of enterprise customers, led cross-functional teams of 8".
