Current role: [Your Job Title at Company]
Industry: [Your Industry]
Years of experience: [Number]

Write a LinkedIn About section that:
1. Opens with a hook that makes someone want to keep reading (NOT "I am a...")
2. Is written entirely in first person ("I" not "they")
3. Tells a brief career story arc (where I started → what I learned → where I am now)
4. Mentions 3-5 specific skills or tools naturally (not a keyword dump)
5. Includes one concrete achievement with a number
6. Ends with a call-to-action (what to do next | connect, message, etc.)
7. Is 150-300 words (LinkedIn sweet spot)
8. Uses short paragraphs (2-3 sentences max per paragraph)
9. Sounds human and conversational, not corporate

Do NOT include:
- Third person language
- "Passionate professional with X years..."
- Bullet point lists of skills
- Emojis or hashtags

Write my LinkedIn About section using the Problem → Solution → Proof framework.

My role: [Your Job Title]
The #1 problem my audience faces: [e.g., "SaaS companies struggle to convert free trial users to paid customers"]
How I solve it: [e.g., "I design onboarding flows that increase activation by mapping user behavior data to product triggers"]
Proof it works: [e.g., "At Company X, this approach increased trial-to-paid conversion by 34% in 6 months"]
Who I work with: [e.g., "Series A-C SaaS companies with 10K+ monthly signups"]
Tools/methods I use: [Tool 1, Tool 2, Method 1]
My unique angle: [What makes your approach different from others who do similar work]

Structure the About section as:
- Paragraph 1 (2-3 sentences): State the problem. Make the reader nod and think "yes, that's my challenge"
- Paragraph 2 (2-3 sentences): Describe your approach/solution. Be specific, not vague
- Paragraph 3 (2-3 sentences): Show proof | a result, a metric, a transformation
- Paragraph 4 (1-2 sentences): Call-to-action | what should someone do if they want to work with you or learn more

Keep it under 250 words. First person. Conversational tone. No buzzwords.

Write my LinkedIn About section for a career transition.

Previous career: [e.g., "5 years as a mechanical engineer at Ford"]
New direction: [e.g., "transitioning into UX design"]
What I'm bringing from my old career: [e.g., "systems thinking, user research mindset, prototyping skills"]
What I've done to prepare for the switch: [e.g., "Completed Google UX Certificate, redesigned 3 apps as portfolio projects"]
Why I'm making this change: [e.g., "I realized I spent more time improving user interfaces for factory tools than the tools themselves"]
Target role: [e.g., "Junior UX Designer at a product-led company"]
Key skills for the new role: [Skill 1, Skill 2, Skill 3]

Write a LinkedIn About section that:
1. Opens by acknowledging the transition (don't hide it | own it)
2. Shows the BRIDGE between old and new (transferable skills, shared principles)
3. Demonstrates commitment (courses, projects, certifications you've completed)
4. Explains the "why" briefly | motivation, not life story
5. Ends with clear positioning: what role you want and what you bring
6. Is 150-250 words, first person, conversational
7. Makes the reader think "this person brings a unique perspective" not "this person is starting over"

Avoid: apologetic language, "I know I don't have traditional experience", or over-explaining

Write my LinkedIn About section as a student/new graduate.

Name: [Your Name]
Degree & University: [e.g., "B.S. Computer Science, University of Michigan, Class of 2025"]
Relevant coursework or projects: [e.g., "Built a machine learning model for predicting housing prices as a capstone project"]

Career interest: [e.g., "data science roles in healthcare or biotech"]
What excites me about this field: [One genuine sentence]

1. Opens with genuine enthusiasm for the field (not fake "passionate about leveraging...")
2. Highlights the best 2-3 things I've done (projects, internships, leadership)
3. Shows skills I'm actively building (not skills I've "mastered")
4. Mentions my career interest without being too narrow or too broad
5. Ends with openness to connect (mentors, opportunities, conversations)
6. Is 100-200 words (students don't need 300)
7. Sounds like a real person, not a resume robot
8. Uses honest language: "building," "learning," "exploring" | not "expert" or "seasoned"

Do NOT: claim expertise you don't have, use corporate jargon, or write in third person

"""

My role: [Your Job Title]

   - Keywords (are searchable skills mentioned naturally?)
   - Call-to-action (does it tell the reader what to do next?)
   - Length (is it in the 150-300 word sweet spot?)

3. Write a complete rewritten version that fixes all the issues
