Craft an enticing headline for your profile and resume

On your resume, LinkedIn Profile, etc. you have the opportunity to lead with a power statement about yourself. Often times I see people waste this space saying something generic like their title in that line. For example, I just saw someone’s LinkedIn headline reading, “Store Manager and then the name of the company.”

That’s so boring and it doesn’t really tell what you are capable of doing or why someone should care.

How will you label yourself so that you point out who you serve and what value you can create? Will you hone in on an area of expertise? Will you state what you are seeking in your career?

Consider how valuable this one headline is at enticing people to check out your online profile or read over your resume. Don’t waste it being vague or restating a job title. And say what you need to say in 10 words or less for full visibility on the main screen. You have slightly more room than that to expand on your description when they click on your profile.
