The Complete LinkedIn & Resume Optimization System, Part 2: Turn Your Invisible Profile Into a Recruiter Magnet in 10 Minutes
Go from zero profile views to recruiter favorite with one simple—but absolutely crucial—update.
This is Part 2 of my AI prompt system that will completely revamp and optimize not only your LinkedIn presence, but your resume and communications with hiring managers and headhunters.
Welcome Back
In Part 1, we ran an audit on your profile to figure out what needed to be fixed and what’s already working just fine. You should have received:
A list of the three most important things to fix on your profile
The precise keywords recruiters and others are using to find people like you
What others who have your same skills are doing that works for them
Quick ways to track your changes to see if they’re working
Anything that fell under the “yikes” department - things that you needed to fix before doing anything else
Today, we’re focusing on just one thing.
But as far as “things” go on LinkedIn, it’s critical.
LinkedIn Profile Headline: Why This Matters More Than Your Entire Resume
Here's what nobody tells you about recruiters: They don't read profiles. They scan 40, 50, maybe 100 profiles before lunch. You know what they actually read? Your headline. That's it.
Everything else—your carefully crafted About section, your detailed work history, those 23 skills you meticulously added—none of it matters if your headline doesn't make them stop scrolling.
Your headline isn't just the first thing they read. For most recruiters racing through profiles at 7:43 AM, it's the only thing they read—until you give them a reason to read more.
Today’s prompt will generate 10 finely-tuned, attention-grabbing headlines you can paste into your profile to get immediate results.

**Additional Requirements:**

Rank all 10 headlines from most to least likely to attract my target employers, with specific reasoning for the ranking.
Choose Your Headline and Move On
Pick your top option from the 10 this prompt generates. Test it for a week. If your profile views don't increase, try option #2.
Don't overthink this—you can always change it.
The perfect headline means nothing if visitors leave immediately.
That's where tomorrow's prompt comes in.
Next Up: The About Section That Actually Converts
You got them to click. Congratulations.
Now you have approximately 8 seconds before they decide whether you're worth a message or just another profile in their Wednesday afternoon blur.
Your About section is where you close the deal. Not with a boring biography that reads like a Wikipedia entry. Not with a list of skills they can see in your experience section anyway.
But with something that makes them think: "This is exactly who we need."
Tomorrow's prompt writes an About section that turns profile lurkers into people sliding into your DMs with actual opportunities. It's the same framework that helped one user go from zero recruiter messages to booking three interviews in two days!
