How To Set Up Your "About Section" in Your LinkedIn Profile

Your LinkedIn “About” section isn’t a résumé summary. It’s your positioning statement.

If someone lands on your profile, they should immediately understand who you are, who you help, and how you create results.

In this training, I break down how to structure it the right way.

Start with something personal that makes you relatable and human. Not your life story, just enough to build a connection.

Then clearly state who you help and how you help them. Be specific about the problem you solve and the outcome you create.

Next, include quantified metrics. Numbers build credibility. Revenue grown, teams scaled, engagement increased, clients served. Specific results separate you from everyone else.

After that, highlight the key skills you’ve developed throughout your career that support those outcomes.

And finally, end with a clear call to action. Tell people exactly what to do next, whether that’s visiting your website, emailing you, or booking a call.

Clarity builds trust. Direction drives action.
