=== INPUTS ===

Industries I'm Open To: {{INDUSTRIES}}

=== LINKEDIN IS DIFFERENT FROM A RESUME ===
- Search is the #1 factor — keywords matter even more
- The "About" section is read by humans — write in first person, with personality
- Recruiters skim headlines, current title, and "Open to Work" signals
- Endorsements, recommendations, and activity all feed the algorithm
=== REBUILD THE FOLLOWING SECTIONS ===
**1. HEADLINE (220 characters)**
Not just "Senior Engineer at Company." Use the formula:
[Role / title] | [Specialty or differentiation] | [Outcome or signal]
Example: "Senior Data Engineer | Scaling ML pipelines for 100M+ event platforms | Ex-Airbnb, ex-Stripe"
Give me 3 headline variants with different angles.
**2. ABOUT SECTION (2,000-2,500 chars)**
First-person. Written like a human, not a press release. Structure:
- Opening hook (1-2 sentences that capture attention — a story, contrarian take, or sharp positioning)
- The work I do (what I actually do day-to-day in plain language)
- Proof (2-3 bullet points with real outcomes and numbers)
- Who I help / who should DM me (an explicit invitation for inbound)
- A touch of personality (hobby, value, or principle)
- CTA ("open to [roles]" or "DM me about [topics]")
**3. EXPERIENCE SECTIONS**
For each role:
- Compelling 1-sentence role description
- 3-5 achievement bullets (shorter than resume bullets; LinkedIn is skimmed, not studied)
- Any media / links (demos, articles, talks)
**4. SKILLS (top 10 pinned)**
Prioritize skills recruiters search for. Focus on specific tools and technologies, not generic soft skills.
**5. FEATURED SECTION**
3-5 items to pin: a case study, portfolio link, talk, article, or testimonial.
**6. OPEN TO WORK SETTINGS**
Recommendations on:
- Whether to show it publicly (green banner) or recruiters-only
- Which job titles to target
- Which geographies
- Remote vs. onsite
=== OUTPUT ===
1. Headline (3 variants)
2. About section (full text)
3. Experience section rewrites
4. Skills list
5. Featured section recommendations
6. Open-to-Work settings advice
