Questions people ask
How long can a LinkedIn headline be?
Up to 220 characters. The first 60 or so show in search results, so put the important words first.
What should it include?
Your job title or the job you want, one or two key skills, and, if you can, a result or specialty.
Should I write 'open to work' in it?
Use LinkedIn's Open to Work setting instead. Put the job you want in the headline.
