Frequently Asked Questions

How long should my LinkedIn summary be?

Aim for 200-400 words. LinkedIn allows up to 2,600 characters, but most readers skim. Front-load the most important information in the first 300 characters, which display before the "see more" fold.

Should I write in first or third person?

First person is more personal and engaging for most professionals. Third person can work for executives or when your profile serves as a formal bio. Whichever you choose, be consistent.

What should I include in my LinkedIn About section?

Include: what you do and who you help, your key achievements or expertise, what makes you different, and a call to action. Optionally add personal touches that make you memorable.

How often should I update my summary?

Update your summary when your role, focus, or career goals change significantly. At minimum, review it annually to ensure it still represents you accurately.
