Your profile headline is what people see before they even click on your profile.

It shows up when you leave a comment, appear in recommendations, or send a connection request. Plus, it helps recruiters find you when they search for candidates using keywords.

What should you write to get noticed?

👁 Check Job Descriptions for Ideas

For example, maybe your headline says "Graphic Designer," but after looking at job listings, you realize "Brand Designer" is a better fit. Update it to match the keywords recruiters are looking for.

💻 If you're currently working somewhere, add your company name. This helps recruiters find you based on industry filters.

Example: Brand Designer at Facebook

🦸‍♂️ Highlight what makes you stand out by choosing a key skill that's often required for your role.

For example, in every job listing I applied for, they emphasized being "data-driven," so I added: Driving growth with data.

In the end, your headline should look something like this:

Growth Marketer at Secfix. Driving growth with data.

If you’re not sure how to turn a key skill into a strong statement, just ask ChatGPT.
