The "Above the Fold" Rule (First 3 Lines)

On mobile, LinkedIn only displays the first 2-3 lines before cutting off with a "...see more" button. If those lines are generic filler like "Welcome to my profile", recruiters will never expand it. Lead immediately with your core specialization and notable accomplishments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should the LinkedIn About section be written in 1st person or 3rd person?

Always 1st person ("I build distributed systems"). Third-person bios ("Alex is an accomplished engineer") feel stiff and detached on social platforms.
