LinkedIn About Section Coach

\n\n

\n\n \n

Get a brief for your About section, not a draft

Your LinkedIn About section is where a hiring manager decides whether to keep reading. Recruiters can spot an AI-written About from three lines away, so this tool won't write it for you. It asks you a handful of questions and hands you back the raw material: a hook to open with, proof points to name, skills to include, and how to close. You write the paragraph, in your own words.

\n\n

How this works

Answer six quick questions about your target role, your pivot, a win you're proud of, your tools, and where your portfolio lives.

The rule: nothing you get back is a finished sentence. It's fragments and bullets, on purpose. If it read like a paragraph you could paste straight in, it would read like AI wrote it, and recruiters are actively screening for that in 2026.

\n\n

Answer six questions about your target role, your background, and your proof.
Get a brief back: hook options, proof points to name, skills to include, and closing lines.
Write your About section yourself, in your own voice, using the brief as scaffolding.
Not quite right? Get a fresh brief up to two more times.

\n\n

Heads up. Your answers save to this browser so you can come back and finish later. Same computer, same browser. This tool works on the live site at learningstrategyanddesign.com.

\n\n

\n\n \n

About you

Answer honestly. The more specific you are, the more specific your brief will be. Vague answers get vague briefs.

\n\n \n

Quick basics

Your first name just personalizes your brief. The AIDA answer shapes the credibility guidance you get.

\n First name\n \n

\n Are you enrolled in AIDA?\n

\n Yes, I'm an AIDA student\n No\n

\n\n \n

What role are you targeting?

Pick as many as you'd genuinely apply for.

\n Instructional Designer\n Learning Experience Designer\n eLearning Developer\n Learning & Development Specialist\n Curriculum Developer\n Training Developer\n

\n\n \n

Your pivot

Your About opens with what you build now. The past gives the coach context, but it shouldn't be your opening line.

\n What do you build now? (present tense)\n \n

\n What did you do before? (context only, won't open your About)\n \n

\n\n \n

A win you're proud of

One specific project, result, or piece of feedback. A number or a name makes it land.

Skip \"passionate about learning.\" Try \"redesigned onboarding to cut ramp time by two weeks\" or \"built a Storyline module for my AIDA capstone project.\" Don't have one yet? Leave it blank and the coach will tell you what to go build.

\n \n

\n\n \n

Which tools and methods do you know?

Only check what you can genuinely talk about in an interview or point to in a portfolio.

\n Authoring tools\n

\n Articulate Storyline\n Articulate Rise 360\n Adobe Captivate\n Camtasia\n Vyond\n Canva\n Figma\n

\n LMS platforms\n

\n Cornerstone OnDemand\n Workday Learning\n SAP SuccessFactors\n Moodle\n Docebo\n TalentLMS\n

\n Frameworks and methods\n

\n ADDIE\n SAM\n Kirkpatrick Model\n

\n AI tools you've used\n

\n ChatGPT\n Claude\n Microsoft Copilot\n Google Gemini\n NotebookLM\n

\n Have you used AI in an interesting way in your ID work? (optional, but a specific example beats a checkbox)\n \n

\n Anything else worth naming?\n \n

\n\n \n

Where you point people next

Every About section closes with a next step. This is yours.

Heads up. Links pasted into the About section don't become clickable on LinkedIn. If you have a portfolio link, put the actual link in your Featured section or your Contact Info website field. Here, just tell us what to call it or where it lives, in plain words. Leave the URL out.

\n What's your portfolio or best work, and where does it live? (optional if you don't have one yet)\n \n

\n What do you want someone reading this to do next?\n \n

\n\n \n\n

Your brief Round 1 of 3

This is scaffolding for you to build on. Use it to write your own paragraph, in your own voice.
