Using AI Chrome Extensions to Write a LinkedIn About Section

Make your LinkedIn “About” section stand out fast with AI Chrome extensions

If you’re trying to write a stronger LinkedIn “About” section, the hardest part is usually starting—and the second-hardest part is making it sound like you. Using the right AI Chrome extension can help you draft a compelling “About” section quickly, then fine-tune it to match your real experience, goals, and tone. In this guide, we’ll show you how to use AI Chrome extensions to write a LinkedIn About Section that gets profile visitors to stop scrolling and actually click “Connect.”

And since job searching is all about speed + quality, we’ll also connect the dots to how resume optimization and application autofill tools (like JobWizard) can support your LinkedIn messaging so everything you publish and apply with feels consistent.

Why your LinkedIn “About” section matters (and what it should do)

Your LinkedIn “About” section isn’t a biography—it’s a conversion tool. Think of it like your personal homepage: it should make someone understand (1) who you are, (2) what you do, (3) what you’re looking for, and (4) why they should care.

Most people make it too long, too generic, or too focused on job duties instead of outcomes. An AI Chrome extension can help you avoid that “blank page” problem, but you’ll still want to steer the content toward proof, clarity, and credibility.

What a strong LinkedIn About Section typically includes

• One-sentence positioning: what you do and what kind of work you want.
• Credibility: a few achievements, metrics, or specific skills.
• How you work: your strengths (collaboration, problem-solving, process, etc.).
• What you’re seeking: roles, industries, or mission alignment.
• A soft call-to-action: how people can connect or reach you.

Quick mindset shift: your “About” section should answer, “Why should I connect with you?” in under 10 seconds.

How to use AI Chrome extensions to write a LinkedIn About Section (step-by-step)

Different AI tools work differently, but the best results come from a repeatable workflow. Here’s a practical, job-seeker-friendly process you can use with most AI Chrome extensions.

Step 1: Gather the raw materials first

AI is great at drafting, but you’ll get better output when you feed it good inputs. Before you open an extension, collect:

• Your most relevant job titles and target role
• 3–5 standout accomplishments (even rough notes)
• Skills you actually use (not just buzzwords)
• What you’re looking for next (company type, mission, role level)
• Your tone preference (friendly, confident, bold, understated)

If you’re not sure what accomplishments to include, look at your resume bullets and pick the ones with the most measurable impact.

Step 2: Use the extension to generate a first draft

In the “About” editor on LinkedIn, you can write nothing, write a placeholder, or paste a rough outline—then use an AI extension to generate text. The goal here is to create a starting point you can quickly customize.

Try prompting the extension with something like: “Write a LinkedIn About section for a [job title] seeking [target role]. Include 2–3 achievements with numbers if available. Keep it warm, clear, and not corporate.”

Step 3: Request multiple versions (don’t settle on the first)

A solid trick: ask for 2–3 variations so you can choose the best one for your personality. For example:

• Version A: concise and punchy
• Version B: narrative style (how you got here)
• Version C: outcome-first with more metrics

This matters because your “About” section is personal. Even the best AI Chrome extensions can’t perfectly guess your voice—so you’ll pick the best structure, then personalize it.

Step 4: Replace placeholders with your real proof

AI drafts often include generic phrasing like “driven,” “passionate,” or “results-oriented.” That’s not bad, but it can be vague. Your job is to swap generic claims for proof.

For each major claim, add one supporting detail. Examples:

• Instead of “I improve processes,” write “I reduced onboarding time by 30% by redesigning documentation and automations.”
• Instead of “I’m a strong communicator,” write “I led cross-functional alignment between X and Y to deliver Z.”

Step 5: Optimize for readability and skimmability

LinkedIn readers skim. Aim for short paragraphs (2–3 sentences), and use line breaks to keep things visually easy to scan. A great “About” section feels like a conversation, not a report.

As you edit, make sure the first 2–3 lines do the heavy lifting. If someone reads only the top section, they should still understand your value and goals.

What to write (and what to avoid) in your LinkedIn About Section

Using an AI Chrome extension helps with drafting, but knowing what content to include will make your final result feel intentional and credible.

Include these elements for better responses

• Your positioning: job title + specialty + target roles.
• 3–5 real highlights: achievements, projects, leadership, or outcomes.
• Your strengths: how you work (systems, collaboration, customer empathy, etc.).
• What you’re open to: location, remote/hybrid preference, or industries.
• Specific keywords: skills aligned to job descriptions you’re applying to.

Avoid these common pitfalls

• Overstuffing buzzwords (“synergy,” “dynamic,” “guru”)
• Turning your About into a job description (duties ≠ impact)
• Being too vague (“I do a lot of things”)
• Writing only about the past (end with what you want next)
• Leaving metrics out when you have them

One more tip: keep your About consistent with your resume. If AI helps you generate a draft that sounds like a different person, that’s a sign you should tighten it to match your actual experience.

Match your “About” section to your resume + applications (so everything feels consistent)

Your LinkedIn and resume shouldn’t compete. When your messaging aligns, recruiters and hiring managers get a coherent story across touchpoints—and you reduce the effort you spend editing documents repeatedly.

Here’s where job-search tools can help beyond just LinkedIn writing.

Use resume optimization to strengthen LinkedIn messaging

If you optimize your resume for the roles you want, those same keywords and achievements can feed your LinkedIn About section. Think of it like building one strong narrative that shows up everywhere.

JobWizard can help with that by supporting resume optimization and role-matching so your application materials don’t drift into generic language.

Autofill ATS forms to stay consistent (and save time)

When you apply online, the fastest way to lose quality is to rush your inputs. ATS forms often ask for the same details your LinkedIn About communicates. If your information is already shaped correctly, autofilling can reduce errors and keep your profile-to-application story intact.

JobWizard’s autofill can detect ATS forms in the browser and fill them using your resume data—so your answers stay consistent while you focus on role-specific customization.

Turn your About into a referral magnet

If you’re actively networking, your “About” section can give people a reason to refer you. When it clearly states what you want and what you deliver, it becomes easier for friends and connections to share you with the right hiring manager.

JobWizard’s referral finder can also help you locate relevant people faster so you can message with confidence. (And your About gives your network a shortcut to understand your target role.)

Best AI prompts for a LinkedIn About Section (copy, tweak, and use)

Prompts are where you “steer” the AI Chrome extension. Below are ready-to-use prompt templates. Replace the bracketed parts with your specifics.

Prompt set for different styles

• Outcome-first: “Write a LinkedIn About section for a [job title] targeting [target role]. Include 3 achievements with impact (metrics if I have them). Keep it friendly, confident, and skimmable.”
• Story-driven: “Draft a LinkedIn About section for [job title]. Include a short ‘how I got here’ story, then 2–3 strengths with proof, and end with what I’m seeking next.”
• Concise version: “Create a concise LinkedIn About section (max ~120–160 words) for a [job title] who wants [target role]. Make the first 2 lines positioning-focused.”
• Warm + personable: “Write a LinkedIn About section in a warm, conversational voice. Avoid buzzwords. Use simple language and include a soft call-to-action at the end.”

Prompt upgrades that improve quality

• “Match my resume tone”: “Use the tone and style of my resume bullets: direct, outcome-focused, not overly formal.”
• “Add keyword alignment”: “Include keywords aligned with [top job description skills] naturally (no keyword stuffing).”
• “Ask me for missing details”: “If you need metrics or specifics, list the questions at the end.”

After the AI draft, do a final human pass: remove anything that feels inflated or inaccurate. The best “About” sections sound like you wrote them—just faster.
