The first two lines do the work
LinkedIn shows only the first few lines of your About section before “see more”. That’s all most people read. Open with who you help and how, or with a short moment from your work. Don’t open with “I am a passionate professional”.
Tip: Read your first line out loud. If it could be anyone’s About section, rewrite it.
What to put in a LinkedIn About section
What you do, in plain words. Who it’s for. Two or three proof points: a project, a number, a client type, a story. A bit about how you work or what you believe. And one clear next step at the end.
Write in the first person. “I help” reads warmer than “Priya helps”. Short paragraphs, with a blank line between them, because people read this on their phones too.
Mistakes to avoid in your About section
Copying your CV. People can read that in the Experience section. A wall of text with no breaks. Buzzwords like “results-driven” and “passionate” that tell nobody anything. And ending without telling people what to do next.
The generator avoids all of these. Read the draft once anyway and change any line you wouldn’t say out loud. If something still sounds stiff, paste it into the AI writing checker. It’s your profile, so it should sound like you on a good day.
Make your whole profile match
Your About section should back up your headline. Write that with the LinkedIn headline generator. Then make a LinkedIn banner that says the same thing at a glance.
