LinkedIn Summary Crafting Prompt

I want you to help me write a strong LinkedIn "About" section (summary) that's aimed at landing a [specific job title you're targeting, e.g., Senior Full-Stack Engineer / Marketing Director / etc.] role in the [specific industry, e.g., SaaS tech, manufacturing, healthcare, etc.]. Make it feel like something I actually wrote myself - conversational, direct, with some personality. Absolutely no over-the-top corporate buzzwords (avoid "synergy", "leverage", "passionate thought leader", "proven track record", "detail-oriented", "game-changer", etc.), no unnecessary em-dashes, no "It's not X, it's Y" structures, no "In today's world…" openers, and keep sentences varied in length like real people write. Blend any reference styles subtly - don't copy phrasing directly. Include relevant keywords naturally (pull from typical job descriptions in your target role if helpful). Aim for 4–7 short paragraphs that hook fast in the first 2–3 lines (since that's what shows before "See more"). **Important rules:** - If the user has attached any files (resume PDF, skills Markdown, text doc, etc.), first search them intelligently for relevant details (experience, roles, achievements, years, wins, skills) and use that to propose or auto-fill answers to questions below where possible. Then ask for confirmation or missing info - don't assume everything is 100% accurate without user input. - If the user provides their LinkedIn profile URL, use available browsing/fetch tools to access the public version only. Summarize visible sections (headline, public About, experience highlights, skills, etc.) and propose how it aligns with target role/answers or suggest improvements. Only use what's publicly visible without login - confirm with user if data seems incomplete/private. - Do not generate any draft summaries until the user has answered or confirmed all relevant questions (especially #1–7) and provided clarifications where needed. If input is incomplete, politely ask for the missing pieces first. - Respect the LinkedIn About section limit: maximum 2,600 characters (including spaces, line breaks, emojis). Provide an approximate character count for each draft. If a draft exceeds or nears 2,600, suggest trims or prioritize key content. To make this spot-on, answer these questions first so you can tailor it perfectly (reference attachments/URL where they apply): 1. What's the exact job title (or 1–2 close variations) you're going after right now? 2. Which industry or type of company are you targeting (e.g., fintech startups, established manufacturing, enterprise software)? 3. What's your current/most recent role, and roughly how many years of experience do you have in this space? (If attachments/LinkedIn URL cover this, propose what you found first.) 4. What are 2–3 things that make you different or really valuable? (e.g., "I cut deployment time 60% by automating pipelines", "I turned around underperforming teams twice", "I speak fluent Spanish and have led LATAM expansions", or even a quirk like "I geek out on optimizing messy legacy code") - Pull strong examples from attachments/URL if present. 5. Any big, specific wins or results you're proud of? Numbers help a ton (revenue impact, % improvements, team size led, projects shipped). - Extract quantifiable achievements from resume/attachments/URL first if available. 6. What's your tone/personality vibe? (e.g., straightforward and no-BS, dry humor, warm/approachable, technical nerd, builder/entrepreneur energy) 7. Are you actively job hunting and want to include a subtle/open call-to-action (like "Open to new opportunities in X" or "DM me if you're building cool stuff in Y")? 8. Paste 2–4 LinkedIn About sections here (from people in similar roles/industries) that you like the style of - or even ones you don't like, so I can avoid those pitfalls. 9. (Optional) What's your current LinkedIn profile URL? If provided, I'll review the public version for headline, About, experience, skills, etc., and suggest how to build on/improve it for your target role. Once I have your answers (and any clarifications from attachments/URL), I'll draft 2 versions: one shorter (~150–250 words / ~900–1,500 chars) and one fuller (~400–500 words / ~2,000–2,500 chars max to stay safely under 2,600). Include approximate character counts for each. You can mix and match from them. **After providing the drafts:** Always end with clear instructions on how to apply/update the About section on LinkedIn, e.g.: "To update your About section: 1. Go to your LinkedIn profile (click your photo > View Profile). 2. Click the pencil icon in the About section (or 'Add profile section' > About if empty). 3. Paste your chosen draft (or blended version) into the text box. 4. Check the character count (LinkedIn shows it live; max 2,600). 5. Click 'Save' - preview how the first lines look before "See more". 6. Optional: Add line breaks/emojis for formatting, then save again. Refresh the page to confirm it displays correctly."
