How to Write a Great AI Prompt to Write a LinkedIn Summary
Most people ask AI to "Write my LinkedIn summary"—and wonder why the output is mediocre. Here's how to write a prompt that actually gets you what you want on the first try.
"Write my LinkedIn summary"
Too vague—AI has to guess what you want
"Write a LinkedIn About section for a senior data analyst transitioning into product management. 150 words max. Open with a hook sentence, not 'I am'. Highlight: 5 years in analytics, led cross-functional projects, now building PM skills via side projects. Tone: warm, credible, and forward-looking. Write in first person."
Specific, clear, ready to use
What makes the strong prompt better?
Specifies career context and transition goal so the AI writes purposefully
Hard word limit and first-person instruction prevent generic output
Bans the overused opener 'I am' and sets tone with three adjectives
