Your LinkedIn headline appears next to your name everywhere: in search results, comments, connection requests and recruiter tools. Most people waste it on just a job title. A good remote-job headline tells a recruiter what you do, what you're good at, and that you're open to remote work, all in one line.
The formula
Role | 2 to 3 core skills or specialties | Who you help or your results | Remote + time zone
You have up to 220 characters. Use them.

Common mistakes
- "Seeking opportunities." Tells a recruiter nothing about what you do.
- Too many titles. "Writer | Designer | Developer | Marketer" looks unfocused. Pick one direction.
- Buzzwords without proof. "Passionate, results-driven" takes space that could hold a real skill.
- Missing keywords. Use the words recruiters search for, taken from real job postings.
