Questions
How long can my LinkedIn headline and About section be?
At the time of writing, the headline allows up to 220 characters and the About section up to 2,600 characters. Check LinkedIn Help for the current limits, as they can change.
Will the tool write my profile for me?
It drafts a headline, About section and experience bullets from the details you provide. Review and personalise the text before posting so it reflects your voice and is fully accurate.
Is my information stored or shared with LinkedIn?
This tool is independent of LinkedIn and does not connect to your account. Only share details you are comfortable including in a draft profile.
Is this useful for consultants, not just job seekers?
Yes. Consultants can use the same steps to attract clients, using the providing services setting and a call to action focused on assignments.
