LinkedIn Profile Optimization

Make your LinkedIn profile work with your resume: headline, About section, experience and skills.

1 Oct 2026 · CareerPrep NG

Headline

Your headline appears everywhere you do. Go beyond your current job title: say what you do and for whom, e.g. Customer Success Specialist | SaaS | Onboarding & Retention.

About section

Write in the first person. Cover what you do, what you're good at, the kind of role you're looking for, and one or two achievements. Keep paragraphs short.

Experience

Match titles and dates to your resume — recruiters notice inconsistencies. Add two or three achievement bullets per role.

Skills and recommendations

List skills that match your target roles. Ask former managers or colleagues for specific recommendations about work they saw you do.

Settings worth checking

  • A clear, professional profile photo
  • A custom profile URL
  • "Open to work" preferences set to your target roles and locations

Your skills deserve a better presentation.

Get an expert assessment of your resume with practical recommendations.
