How to Write a Strong and Perfect LinkedIn Summary

LinkedIn is more than just an online CV; it’s your professional brand and networking hub. Your LinkedIn summary is one of the most important sections because it’s your chance to tell your story and connect with potential employers, recruiters, and colleagues.

Start by writing in the first person and keeping your tone friendly yet professional. Introduce yourself, mention your current role or career goals, and highlight your core strengths such as communication, organisation, enthusiasm, and flexibility. Don’t be afraid to show a bit of personality to help you stand out.

Include a brief overview of your experience and what you’re passionate about. If you’re actively job seeking, state the types of roles you’re interested in and the value you bring to an employer.

Remember to use relevant keywords that match your industry and desired roles so your profile is easier to find.

Finally, include a call to action, such as inviting readers to connect or message you for opportunities.
