Answer six questions and get a first-person LinkedIn About section in a short and a full version — ready to paste and polish. LinkedIn allows up to 2,600 characters in the About section, but around 120 to 250 words is usually enough to be read in full.
Treat the result as a first draft. Replace any generic phrase with the words you would use with a colleague, add one detail only you could write, and read it aloud. Recruiters and clients remember specifics — a project, a number, a place — far more than adjectives.

What you get
The tool writes a short and a full About section in the first person. Both open with who she is and the move she wants, because only the first two or three lines show before “see more”. The full version then covers the hiring she already does, the panel rota and what she is looking for next, in about 200 words, well inside LinkedIn’s 2,600-character limit. The short version suits profiles that will mostly be skimmed. She edits one sentence to name the plant roles she hired for, which makes it specific to her.
When to use it: Use the About generator for the summary on your LinkedIn profile; for a speaker intro or website bio in several lengths, the bio generator is the better choice.

Yes. First person (“I help…”) reads naturally on LinkedIn and makes it clear you wrote it. Save third person for speaker introductions and company pages.
A simple next step: what you are open to — roles, projects, speaking, collaborations — and how to reach you, such as a message on LinkedIn or a link to your website.
