LinkedIn Profile Template

LinkedIn Profile Draft: [Your name]

A drafting sheet for a LinkedIn profile: headline, About section, experience entries, skills, featured items, and the visibility and privacy settings to review before a job search. Write and edit here, then paste each part into the profile editor. Based on common career-coaching practice and LinkedIn's own help pages as checked in October 2026. Replace every [bracketed] value and every line marked Example.

1. Headline

[Target title] | [Core skill 1, core skill 2] | [Domain or proof]

Example: Senior Product Analyst | Experimentation, SQL, Python | Turning app data into product decisions in mobility and e-commerce

2. About

[Paragraph 1: what you do, for whom, and your strongest result.]

[Paragraph 2: how you work and two or three examples with numbers.]

[Paragraph 3: what you want next, and how to contact you.]

Example: I help product teams decide what to build by designing experiments and turning messy app data into clear recommendations. Over five years I have run more than 30 A/B tests and built forecasts used by operations teams. I am interested in senior analytics roles in consumer products; message me here.

3. Experience

[Job title], [Organisation], [MM/YYYY] to [MM/YYYY or Present]

• Scope: [team, product, users]
• [Result with a number]
• [Result with a number]

4. Skills, featured and recommendations

• Skills (pin your top three): [Skill 1], [Skill 2], [Skill 3]; then [up to the others that match target postings]
• Featured: [a portfolio case study, talk, article or project link]
• Recommendations to request: [Name, relationship, what to mention]

5. Visibility and privacy checklist

• Open to Work: choose who sees it. LinkedIn's help page lists "All LinkedIn members" (adds a photo frame and is visible to people at your current employer), "Recruiters only" (LinkedIn says it tries to hide this from recruiters at your current company but cannot guarantee complete privacy) and a setting visible only to you.

• Profile edits: decide whether your network is notified of changes while you update many sections at once.
• Contact info: show only what you want strangers to see; a personal phone number is rarely needed.
• Profile viewing mode and public profile visibility: decide what people outside LinkedIn and search engines can see.
• Data and activity: review what your activity and data may be used for under the current settings.
