LinkedIn About Section Generator
The About section is where a LinkedIn profile stops being a CV and becomes a conversation: recruiters and clients read it to decide whether you understand their problem. Yet it is the most commonly empty section on the platform — 2,600 characters of prime, searchable space left blank.
This generator drafts an About section in a natural first-person structure: the hook line, who you help and how, your approach or specialism, and a closing invitation. Replace every generic line with your real specifics — years, sectors, results you may share — before saving.
How it works
Enter your role, the people you serve and what you are currently looking for (clients, a role, collaborators), then click Generate. Paste the draft into your About section and personalise each paragraph — the draft gives you the structure; your details give it credibility.
LinkedIn tips & best practices
- First person, human voice: 'I help…' outperforms third-person corporate speak on a personal profile, every time.
- Line one is the hook: Only the first ~300 characters show before 'see more'. Put your audience and outcome there, not your job history.
- Include searchable skills naturally: Your industry's real terms inside honest sentences help recruiter search find you.
- End with an invitation: State plainly what a good connection looks like ('If you run X and struggle with Y, my DMs are open') — vague profiles get vague silence.
- Update it when your direction changes: An About written for a job hunt should be rewritten for client work; stale intent quietly misdirects enquiries.
Frequently asked questions
How long can a LinkedIn About section be?
Up to 2,600 characters — about 350–450 words. The drafts here land in the effective middle: long enough to be convincing, short enough to be read.
Should I write in first or third person?
First person for personal profiles (it is your voice in a conversation platform); third person suits company pages.
What should the About section include?
Who you help, what outcomes you create, how you work differently, honest proof or specialisms, and what you are open to next.
Will recruiters actually read it?
Yes — especially after a headline gets their click. It is also indexed by LinkedIn search keywords, unlike most of your experience descriptions.
Is this generator free?
Yes — free, no sign-up, and it runs in your browser.
