Rewrite your LinkedIn About section for freshers

You are an experienced tech recruiter who reads hundreds of LinkedIn profiles
from Indian B.Tech freshers every week. I will paste (1) my resume and (2) my
current LinkedIn About section. Rewrite my About section so it actually gets
read.

Output format (strict):
- First person ("I", "my"), present tense.
- Around 150 words total. Hard ceiling of 180 words.
- Exactly 3 short paragraphs separated by a blank line:
  - Paragraph 1: What I do today — current year of study or grad year, branch,
    primary stack, and the kind of work I am currently doing (projects,
    coursework, open source, freelance, whatever is real).
  - Paragraph 2: What I am looking for — role type (internship / full-time /
    either), domains I am drawn to (frontend, backend, data, ML, etc.),
    and the kind of team or product I want to join.
  - Paragraph 3: What I have built — 2 to 3 concrete projects with the
    technology used, in one sentence each. No marketing fluff.

Hard rules:
- Do NOT use any of these words or their variants: "delve", "embark",
  "leverage", "synergize", "navigate the landscape", "passionate",
  "driven", "results-oriented", "dynamic", "tapestry", "in today's
  fast-paced world", "ever-evolving", "transformative", "unlock".
- Do not start any sentence with "As a". Do not end with "feel free to
  reach out" or "let's connect".
- Do not invent companies, internships, technologies, or metrics that are
  not in my resume.
- Plain text only. No emojis, no markdown headings, no bullet points
  inside the paragraphs.

Here is my resume:
[PASTE RESUME HERE]

Here is my current LinkedIn About section:
[PASTE CURRENT ABOUT HERE]

Who this is for

This prompt is for B.Tech and B.Sc students in India whose LinkedIn About section either does not exist or reads like every other student profile on the platform. If your About starts with "As a passionate B.Tech student driven to make an impact in the dynamic world of technology," a recruiter has already scrolled past.

It is also for students who tried to write an About section using ChatGPT directly, ended up with three paragraphs full of "delve", "embark", and "leverage", and got flagged in their head as obviously AI-generated. Recruiters at companies like Flipkart, Razorpay, Swiggy, Zomato, and most startups have read enough AI-written LinkedIn bios in the last year to spot them instantly. This prompt is built specifically to avoid the patterns that give it away.

You should have a real resume with at least two projects and some clarity on what kind of role you want. The About section is a narrowing of your resume, not an expansion of it. If your resume is still scattered, fix the resume first.

This is not for senior engineers, product managers, or career switchers with prior work history. Their About sections need a different structure built around experience, not aspiration.

How to use it

Step 1: Have your resume in text form. Open your resume PDF or Doc, copy the full text. The AI needs to see the actual projects, skills, and education on your resume to mirror them in the About. Do not summarize. Paste everything.

Step 2: Grab your current About. Go to your LinkedIn profile, copy the existing About section even if it is one line or empty placeholder text. This helps the AI understand the gap between what you have and what you need.

Step 3: Run the prompt. Paste into ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini. Replace both placeholders. Send. You will get three paragraphs of roughly 150 words.

Step 4: Read it out loud. This is the most important step. If a sentence feels like something you would never say to a friend at college, change it. Replace words. Shorten things. The AI gives you a solid draft, but it should sound like you by the end.

Step 5: Paste into LinkedIn and save. Edit your profile, paste into the About field, save. Then check on mobile, because LinkedIn truncates after a few lines and adds a "see more" link. Make sure your first sentence hooks.

Example before and after

Before (typical fresher About): "As a passionate and driven final-year B.Tech CSE student, I am embarking on an exciting journey in the dynamic world of software engineering. I leverage my skills in various technologies to deliver impactful solutions. I am always eager to learn and grow in this ever-evolving field. Feel free to connect!"

After using this prompt:

"I am a final-year B.Tech CSE student at XYZ College, currently working on full-stack web projects with React, Node.js, and PostgreSQL. Most of my time outside coursework goes into building things, breaking them, and rebuilding them better.

I am looking for a full-time SDE-1 role or a 6-month internship starting mid-2026, ideally on a frontend or full-stack team at a product company. I want to work somewhere small enough that I ship real features in the first month.

So far I have built an expense tracker app with React and Firebase used by my college club, a Node.js URL shortener with custom analytics, and a contribution to an open-source React component library."

The difference is what is missing as much as what is present. No "passionate." No "delve." No vague claims. Every sentence either says what you do, what you want, or what you have shipped. A recruiter scanning the first two lines on mobile gets a clear picture before they even tap "see more."

Common mistakes to avoid

Pasting a stripped-down resume. If you only paste your skills section, the AI cannot reference your projects in paragraph 3. Paste the full resume including education, skills, and project descriptions with tech stacks.

Keeping a single buzzword "because it sounds nice." The prompt bans words like "passionate" and "driven" for a reason. Recruiters do a mental eye-roll when they see them. Even one slipped back in weakens the whole About. Trust the rules.

Stretching to more than 180 words. LinkedIn About sections that go past 200 words rarely get fully read. The 150-word target is not arbitrary. If your draft comes back at 220 words, cut it down. Every sentence must earn its place.

Adding a closing CTA like "feel free to reach out." It feels polite but adds nothing. Recruiters already know how to message you on LinkedIn. The space is better spent on one more project mention.

Writing the About before the headline. The About expands the story your headline starts. If your headline says "Aspiring Software Developer" and your About says "Frontend Developer with React experience," the two are out of sync. Fix the headline first using the headline rewriter prompt, then write the About.

When not to use this prompt

Do not use this prompt if your resume only has tutorial-follow-along projects. The About section is meant to point to evidence. If the evidence is weak, focus on building one real project first, then write the About.

Also skip this if you are still confused about whether you want frontend, backend, data, or ML. Paragraph 2 needs you to pick a direction. A vague About that says "interested in many areas of tech" tells a recruiter you have not decided yet, and they will scroll on. Better to pick one direction this quarter, write the About around it, and revisit in three months.

Finally, do not use this prompt for non-tech roles. The structure assumes a technical fresher applying to engineering or adjacent positions. If you are applying to marketing, design, or operations roles, the paragraphs need to be reorganized around a different kind of evidence.
