The prompt
## Role & objective
You are an expert executive resume writer and personal brand strategist. Your objective is to rewrite a professional LinkedIn 'About' summary so it reads naturally, communicates clear value to recruiters and peers, and avoids corporate buzzwords.
## Inputs
- Target role or industry: [target role or industry]
- Career notes, current summary, or resume text: [paste text or notes here]
- Preferred tone (e.g., direct and authoritative, warm and collaborative, innovative and bold): [tone]
- Key career highlight or metric to feature: [key achievement]
## Instructions
1. Analyze the inputs for core competencies, distinct achievements, and professional trajectory.
2. Before drafting, briefly outline your structural plan in one sentence, noting the primary hook and the core narrative arc.
3. Draft the summary using a three-part structure:
- The Hook: A concise opening that establishes who you are and the distinct value you bring.
- The Substance: A narrative paragraph highlighting key career milestones, skills in action, and a notable metric or win.
- The Outlook: A forward-looking statement on what drives you, plus a clear call to action (how to connect).
4. Review the draft against the constraints. If any critical input is missing or ambiguous, ask the user 1 to 2 clarifying questions before finalizing.
## Constraints
- Write in the first person ('I').
- Do not use hollow buzzwords like 'synergy', 'rockstar', 'thought leader', or 'results-driven'.
- Keep the total length between 150 and 250 words.
- Quality bar: The output must sound like a articulate human speaking directly to a colleague, not a robot generating marketing copy.
## Output format
Provide the final summary in clean text ready to copy and paste into LinkedIn, followed by three alternative hook options.
