Write an OUTSTANDING LinkedIn Summary (with Examples)!
My Premium Resume Package: jeffsu.gumroad.com/l/premium-...
😲 In order to Write an Outstanding LinkedIn Summary, one must first look at existing successful examples and templates, and understand that there are no "one-size-fits-all" LinkedIn Summaries. Depending on who you are - Job Seeker, Working Professional, Entrepreneur, or Thought Leader, you would need to position yourself differently in your about section.
Each segment has its own best practices, examples, and templates, but regardless of how you want to position yourself, the objective of your LinkedIn bio is the same: To compel your target audience - whoever they may be - to reach out to you instead of the other way around.
The LinkedIn Summary template for Job Seekers and Working Professionals follow a simple 3-step structure:
(1) Intro line
(2) Case Study bullet points
(3) Ending
Finally, I also share 5 practical tips (such as using word cloud generators to identify relevant keywords) that you can apply immediately to your LinkedIn Summary!

Hi Jeff, In light of just receiving my certificates, I updated my profile recently. I'm searching for IT jobs as a fresher, but I have no idea what the most desirable roles are at the moment! While I have a background in the arts, I am really interested in the IT field.
I've LITERALLY watched almost all your videos at this point. I updated my resume with your tips, wrote several outstanding cover letters and outreach messages, now I'm working on my LinkedIn and I'm just awed by how much value you give out. Thank you so much for being you, Jeff.

I don't comment often however I must give you major props! I have listened to several of your videos now and I'm amazed at how absolutely packed with great info and specific advice they are and in a short compact manner, unlike most videos which have way to much fluff and wasted time. Excellent, excellent job sir. I'm a fan and just subscribed.

I was completely blown away at first but now, my perspective of seeing a LinkedIn profile has changed completely and major chunk of thanks goes to you! Your tricks really inspired me to make a neat & clean profile. Won't regret following your channel in future. This is really helpful indeed in not only making the careers of future generations better who struggle in building their profile, but also it guides us to a cool, out-of-the-box type profile which can stun any recruiter and can crack the dream job.

Hi Jeff, your videos are just AMAZING!!! I have been updating everything following your videos. But in this case, being a marketer with little experience, I wonder what I could put in the intro and bullet points because I had a hard time coming up with a few metrics in my previous jobs and they would be the same over and over again, in the About section, in the experience section and again in the resume (and also in the interview). What would you recommend? Thank you!!
