Headline basics

It follows you everywhere

Your headline shows next to your name on posts, comments and search results, not only on your profile. People often see only the first part, so start with your role and the words people search for.

Common questions

Tap a question and we'll answer it in the chat. You can also type your own.

How long can a LinkedIn headline be?

Up to 220 characters. In feeds and search, only the first part shows, so put the important words first.

Should I say I am open to work?

You can, but LinkedIn also has an Open to Work setting. Use the headline for what you do and the setting for the rest.

Can I use symbols like | or ·?

Yes. They split ideas without using many characters.

Do you save what I type?

No. The tool runs in your browser and nothing you type is sent anywhere.
