"So instead of listing your key skills or qualities in cliched language such as "strategic thinker" or "dedicated to my clients," show these in a memorable and human-centered way. The following 3 guidelines for writing your LinkedIn's About section will help you get there. 1. Start Your LinkedIn Profile With An Intriguing Beginning You want a profile people will remember. So choose a story or turn of phrase that will make people ask questions."
"Sharing personally has efficacy on LinkedIn, but you want to do it strategically so it retains its power. As LinkedIn content expert Colin Rocker shared in a post for LinkedIn Guide To Creation, "if your content doesn't land emotionally, you're missing out on the secret sauce that causes people to really resonate with [you]." Therefore, it's a good idea to be selective about what story you choose for your About section."
LinkedIn profiles should do more than list job titles and skills; they should reveal how a person shows up and what working with them feels like. Present qualities through memorable, human-centered stories instead of clichéd phrases like "strategic thinker" or "dedicated to my clients." Begin with an intriguing anecdote or turn of phrase that prompts questions. Share personal details selectively and strategically to preserve emotional impact and resonance. Choosing a quirky habit or personal tendency can help separate a profile from common introductions. Prioritize emotional connection to make readers remember and engage.
