Write a LinkedIn About section that sounds like you

Tell it what you do and what you want next. Get a short About that a recruiter reads to the end.

Fill in the blanks

Your prompt

Write the About section for my LinkedIn profile.

What I do now: Electrician for 11 years, mostly commercial fit-outs. The part I'm good at is reading bad drawings and sorting it out with the architect before anything's built wrong.
What I want next: moving into estimating or project management for a contractor
Things I've done: Ran the electrical side of a 6-floor office refurb as lead hand. Caught a load calculation error on a school job that would've meant ripping out a finished ceiling. Trained four apprentices, three are qualified now.
How I want to come across: straightforward and practical

Rules:
- Under 200 words. First person. Short paragraphs, no bullet points, no emoji.
- The first two lines have to work on their own, because LinkedIn cuts the section off after them. Put the most useful thing about me there.
- Every claim points at something I told you. No "passionate", "results-driven", "dynamic" or any adjective a stranger could say about themselves.
- Say what I want next plainly in the last paragraph, so a recruiter knows whether to message me.
- Don't invent anything I didn't give you.

Then give me:
1. A headline for my profile, under 120 characters, in the same voice.
2. Which of my examples would be worth adding to the Experience section as a bullet, if it isn't there already.

What you get: A short About section with a first two lines that work alone, plus a matching headline.

The first two lines do most of the work

LinkedIn shows the start of the About section and hides the rest behind a "see more" link, so most visitors only read the opening. The prompt makes the model put your strongest line there instead of a warm-up.

The banned adjectives are the ones that turn up on nearly every profile. They cost you space and say nothing a recruiter can check.

Follow-up email after an interview

A thank-you note the same day, or a nudge when they've gone quiet, that reminds them of something specific you said.

Practice a job interview with AI as the interviewer

It asks one question at a time and waits for your answer, then says what a real interviewer would have heard.
