Write a Good Summary

This is where you really sell yourself to potential connections. Your summary should expand on what appears in your headline, highlighting your specialties, career experience, noteworthy accolades, and thought leadership. There has been much discussion about whether it's best to write in first-person versus third-person narrative here. Ultimately, it doesn't really matter either way--stay consistent with whichever you choose. Don't go back and forth between first person and third person as it's confusing and signals a lack of attention to detail. In summary of LinkedIn summaries: keep your ego in check, focus on the most relevant details about your career, avoid meaningless jargon, and ensure it's easy to read.
