On your LinkedIn summary, you define yourself in your own words, free from start dates and titles. It’s your chance to make your best self known, to highlight your greatest accomplishments, or to explain why you chose a particular career path. There is no other section of your profile that can strengthen your first impression like this one.
A lead is the first part of a career story, and it is responsible for attracting the prospective employer’s attention, making them want to find out more, enticing them to continue reading. Here are a few methods to kick start your LinkedIn summary:
?Begin with one or more questions that grab the reader’s attention.
Have you ever wondered what it would be like for machines to automatically learn and improve from experience without being explicitly programmed? Well, this is exactly what caught my fancy and got me going with a degree in AI and ML.
?Begin with a startling statistic (number evidence) or unusual fact.
Robert Nealey, the self-proclaimed checkers master, played the game on an IBM 7094 computer in 1962, and he lost to the computer. This made a researcher at IBM, Arthur Samuel coin the term ‘Machine Learning’. To be able to teach a machine to outsmart the smartest human being is a dream come true for me.
?Begin with a quote from an expert in the field or experienced person.
“We’re making this analogy that AI is the new electricity. Electricity transformed industries: agriculture, transportation, communication, manufacturing” said Andrew NG and I strongly believe that this disruption is about to make unimaginable changes to human life.
?Begin with a short anecdote (story)
There are millions of movies and books written about AI and ML. You can summarise one and then express how this made you pursue AI and ML as a career path.
