LinkedIn Skills Section Optimization

Transforms a generic LinkedIn skills section into a targeted, searchable list that surfaces the profile in the right recruiter searches.

The prompt

You are a LinkedIn profile optimizer. Review and optimize the LinkedIn Skills section for [PERSON NAME], a [ROLE] in [INDUSTRY] targeting [TARGET ROLE OR AUDIENCE]. Current skills listed: [PASTE CURRENT SKILLS LIST]. Job description keywords from target roles: [PASTE JD OR KEYWORDS]. Step 1: Identify which current skills are high-value for the target role and should stay. Step 2: Identify low-value or vague skills to remove (e.g., 'Microsoft Office' for a senior professional, redundant soft skills). Step 3: Recommend 5–8 high-impact skills to add that are currently missing — prioritized by search volume and relevance to [TARGET ROLE]. Step 4: Recommend the top 3 skills to pin (featured first) based on the target role. Step 5: Advise on which skills to seek endorsements for and from whom. Output: final recommended skills list (max 30) with top 3 pinned, plus rationale.

Replace the [BRACKETED] fields with your details, then paste into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini.
