On LinkedIn, the headline appears next to your name almost everywhere — in search results, in comments, in connection requests. If you leave it alone, it usually shows your current job title and employer. Writing your own lets you say more than a title. Simple formulas:
- Role + specialty: “Backend Engineer · Payments & APIs”.
- Role + result: “Account Manager helping SaaS teams grow renewals”.
- Role + key skills: “Data Analyst · SQL · Power BI · Forecasting”.
- Open to work: “UX Designer, open to roles in Istanbul”.
The same idea on a CV is a resume headline: a one-line title under your name.
