How to use it

1. Remove private details from your CV, then attach it in ChatGPT. You can paste the CV text instead.
2. Copy the prompt below, replace the target-role field with your career goal, and send it in the same chat.
3. Review the results for accuracy. Choose a headline and copy the approved text into the matching sections of your LinkedIn profile.

No Sites access or LinkedIn Premium is needed for these writing steps. ChatGPT drafts the text; you make the profile changes yourself.

The full prompt

Use my attached CV to write content for my LinkedIn profile.

My target role or career direction: [Enter your target role]

If I leave the target role blank or leave the bracketed placeholder unchanged, ask me what role or career direction I want before writing. Never display placeholders in the finished profile text.

Create:

1. Five LinkedIn headline options that clearly communicate my field, experience, strengths and target direction. Do not present a role I want as a role I already hold.
2. A natural first-person About section that sounds confident and professional.
3. Revised descriptions for each relevant work, research or leadership experience. Use clear action-focused bullet points. Preserve job titles, organizations and dates, and distinguish ongoing work from completed work.
4. A list of relevant skills and keywords I should add to my profile, supported by my CV.

Use only information found in my CV or explicitly supplied by me. Do not invent achievements, job titles, qualifications, statistics or technical skills. If an experience would benefit from a measurable result that is missing, tell me what information I should add instead of creating a number.

If I have limited work experience, use relevant coursework, projects, volunteering or leadership where my CV provides evidence. Do not describe academic projects as paid employment.

Avoid vague phrases such as "results-driven professional," "passionate individual" and "hardworking team player." Use keywords naturally and keep the writing easy to read.

Do not include my phone number, home address, date of birth, identification numbers, or references' contact details. Omit email addresses unless I explicitly ask you to include one.

Organize the final answer under these headings:

- Headline options
- About section
- Experience descriptions
- Essential skills and keywords
- Missing information to add

Keep missing-information questions separate from the ready-to-copy profile text. Draft the content here for me to review and copy into LinkedIn myself.

Before you use the result

• Check names, dates, links and every factual claim against your original material.
• Keep private contact details out of anything you publish.
• Edit the draft so it reflects your experience and intended audience.
