A Practical Guide to Improving Your LinkedIn Profile
Make your profile easier to understand by aligning your headline, summary, and proof of work.
Published October 31, 2026
Your LinkedIn profile should tell the same professional story as your resume, with room for a little more personality.
Start with the headline
Describe the work you do and the problems you help solve. A title alone is often too narrow for a search result.
Show evidence
Use the summary and experience sections to explain outcomes, projects, and the kind of work you want next. Keep the language specific and current.
