The About section gives us room the resume does not.
It can explain the throughline behind a complicated career, establish a point of view, contextualize a transition, or help someone understand not only what you have done—but how you think about the work.
It should still earn attention quickly.
No autobiography required.
Experience
LinkedIn Experience should not be a full resume pasted into boxes.
I generally use:
concise role context;
selected proof;
clearer narrative;
enough detail to support credibility without making someone scroll through your entire career archive.

Your public profile should make sense before someone ever asks you to explain it.
