The LinkedIn summary — officially called the About section — is the second thing a recruiter reads, right after your headline. But here's the problem: most summaries are written like a bio from 2008. Third person, stuffed with adjectives, ending in a “Skills:” laundry list. Recruiters scroll past them in seconds.

Rewriting your summary doesn't mean starting from scratch. It means reworking what you already have into a first-person, keyword-rich paragraph that hooks in three seconds and earns the rest of the read.

The 3-part rewrite formula

  1. The hook (first two lines).Name your role, your superpower, and one concrete result. This is all most people see before “see more.”
  2. The proof (middle).Two to four sentences on what you do, who you do it for, and the outcomes you've delivered. Weave in keywords naturally — don't list them.
  3. The close (optional).A short line on what you're looking for next, so a recruiter knows how to place you.

A real rewrite, start to finish

Before
“Results-oriented professional with 8+ years of experience in marketing. Passionate about helping brands grow. Skilled in SEO, content, and social media. Strong communication and leadership skills.”
After
“I help B2B SaaS brands turn content into pipeline. Over 8 years, I've grown organic traffic from 10K to 400K monthly visits and built the SEO program that now drives 40% of inbound leads. I write for product-led teams that need to explain a technical product in plain, persuasive language.”

The rewrite does three things the original doesn't: it leads with a first-person claim a recruiter can picture, it replaces adjectives with a measurable result, and it uses “SEO,” “content,” and “B2B SaaS” inside sentences rather than in a list.

What to cut when you rewrite

How long should it be?

Aim for 80–150 words. Short enough to scan, long enough to tell a story and hit your keywords. If it's 300 words, trim the fluff; if it's 40, you're leaving recruiter-search keywords on the table.

Get your own summary rewritten

The examples above show the pattern — but the rewrite that matters is yours. Paste your current headline or a few lines of your About into the box at the top of this page: Standout scores the words you wrote — no profile fetch, no login — and rewrites them into a paste-ready About section built from your role, your keywords, and your real experience.
