What is a LinkedIn profile headline?
LinkedIn's headline editing help explains that this field appears below your name and can describe your expertise rather than simply restating your current job title.
Is 220 characters the official current maximum?
220 characters is a commonly referenced length, not independently confirmed by the cited LinkedIn Help article. The limit may vary by product version or account; use LinkedIn's actual profile editor to validate before saving.
Draft a useful headline
Focus on role, audience and distinctive expertise. Overly stuffed lists of keywords are harder to understand than a short, credible statement.
