Before a job search, then twice a year
Step by step
Copy your current profile
Copy your headline, About section and the text of your last two or three roles from LinkedIn.
Ask for improvements
Paste them into your AI assistant with this prompt.
Prompt to copyHelp me improve my LinkedIn profile. I want to be found for roles like [target roles] in [sector or location]. Here's my current profile: [paste]. Using only my real experience, give me: 3 headline options under 220 characters that include words recruiters search for, an About section under 200 words in first person and a friendly tone, 3 to 4 bullet points for each of my last two roles focusing on results, and 10 skills to add that I've clearly shown. Don't invent achievements; ask me questions if a result could be made more specific.Add real numbers
Answer the AI's questions with genuine figures, such as team size, customers served or time saved, to make your bullets stronger.
Update and switch on Open to Work
Paste the changes into LinkedIn. If you're job hunting, consider the Open to Work setting, which can be shown to recruiters only.
What you get
Headline: Customer service team leader | Training and coaching | Moving into Learning & Development. About: 'For six years I've helped new starters find their feet...' Bullet: 'Trained 30+ new advisors, with 90% passing probation first time.'
Tips
- Keep your LinkedIn and CV consistent. Recruiters compare them.
- Choose the recruiters-only Open to Work option if you don't want your current employer to see it.
