1. Attract employers with ChatGPT-made summaries

Employers will first look at an applicant’s LinkedIn profile summary to decide whether they are a good fit for a specific role. 

Job seekers can make it short and captivating with ChatGPT. Tech news outlet MakeUseOf recommends these steps:

1. Go to chat.openai.com. Fortunately, OpenAI allowed everyone to use ChatGPT without creating accounts. However, users may create one for free for additional features. 
2. Type a brief description of your job experience, specialties, and other relevant details.
3. Next, hit Enter or click the arrow button in the text box.
4. Wait for the program to generate your summary.
5. Afterward, copy and paste the text into Google Docs, Microsoft Word, or another text processor. 
6. Edit everything to remove grammatical errors and fit your desired image.

Furthermore, applicants can provide detailed prompts for better results. Here’s an example from Andy Crestodina, the co-founder of the Orbit Media digital marketing company:

“You are a personal branding expert, skilled at crafting LinkedIn profiles and resume cover letters. The following is a LinkedIn headline and About section for [NAME]. Your goal is to improve this profile.”

“Suggest 5 alternative LinkedIn headlines of no more than 220 characters each that are both memorable and keyword-rich. Consider incorporating a unique value proposition and professional specialty.”

“Then write a draft of a new, improved LinkedIn About section of no less than 2500 characters. Focus on structuring it with a clear narrative, showcasing achievements with quantifiable results, and including a call to action. [INSERT ENTIRE LINKEDIN PROFILE]”

2. Use LinkedIn AI to make summaries

Job seekers may also subscribe to LinkedIn Premium to use its AI bot. It offers a free trial for the first month, and then it costs ₱1,519.00 for the next months. 

1. Head to your LinkedIn profile.
2. Scroll down to the About section and click the pencil icon.
3. Next, click Write with AI in the Edit about window.
4. Wait for LinkedIn to rewrite your profile summary. 

Click Revert to return to the previous text if you don’t like the results. Otherwise, edit your LinkedIn summary and click Save when you’re finished.

3. Let ChatGPT recommend skills on your profile

Employers look for specific skills from job seekers, so make sure they know you’re the one they need. Let ChatGPT highlight those skills with these steps:

1. Open ChatGPT and ask what should be listed on the LinkedIn profile. Enter the desired role and a short description of your career experiences.
2. Next, wait until the AI program responds. Specify a word limit if the result is too long.
3. Identify the skills you possess and elaborate on them. If you don’t have skills, learn where you should improve based on this response.

4. Write a catchy headline with LinkedIn Premium

MakeUseOf says you may edit your profile’s headline to have a more captivating statement than your recent job role. Use LinkedIn AI with these steps:
