How to Write Your LinkedIn About Section Using Your Resume

Sunil Kalikayi4/8/20265 min read

Resume Summary vs LinkedIn About

Your resume summary is 2–4 sentences, formal, written in third person or implied first person. Your LinkedIn About can be 3–5 paragraphs, conversational, written in first person, and include a personality dimension that a resume can't.

What to Include in LinkedIn About

Paragraph 1: Professional identity — who you are and what you specialize in. Paragraph 2: Your career highlight reel — 2–3 achievements with metrics. Paragraph 3: What drives you — your professional motivation or values (personalizes you). Paragraph 4: Call to action — what you're open to and how to reach you.
