"Student at University of Manchester" is not a headline. It's a missed opportunity.
Your LinkedIn headline appears next to your name in every search result, every connection request, and every comment you leave. It's the first thing a recruiter reads. Yet almost every student uses it to say where they study — information that's already visible on their profile.
Our writers rewrite your headline to do what it's supposed to do: signal what role you're targeting, show what you bring, and make a recruiter pause their scroll. That one change alone increases profile views — and profile views lead to conversations.
We've been matching subject-expert writers with students since 2010. Every element of your profile is written with the same care we bring to essays and CVs.
Written around the exact terms recruiters in your target sector use when searching for candidates — not what sounds impressive to you, but what surfaces your profile to them.
LinkedIn's About section needs to read like a person, not a CV. First-person, narrative, specific. We write it to introduce you rather than list you.
Part-time work, volunteering, society roles, dissertation projects — all rewritten with achievement-led language that tells a recruiter what you actually contributed.
We select and order your skills list to match your target sector's language, improving how often you appear in recruiter searches.
Tone, terminology, and what you include differ significantly between markets. Your writer is briefed on your target geography before writing a single word.
If a recruiter reads your CV and then checks your LinkedIn — and they will — both need to tell the same story. We ensure they're consistent in tone, framing, and narrative.
A CV is formal, third-person, and filtered through HR first. LinkedIn is where a hiring manager reads about you directly — before they've decided to interview you. That's a different audience, a different moment, and it needs a different voice.
A recruiter who likes your CV will check your LinkedIn within minutes. What they find there decides whether you get the call.
Students who post consistently on LinkedIn are significantly more visible to recruiters than those who don't. But knowing what to post — and making it sound authentic — is the hard part. We solve that.
We draft, you publish. This keeps your account fully in your control and ensures the posts read as genuinely yours — because they're built around your actual experiences and opinions.
Every package is written by a subject-matched writer who understands your field. All delivered within 48 hours.
LinkedIn's algorithm uses a Social Selling Index to determine how prominently your profile appears in search results. Completeness, keyword density, connection activity, and post engagement all feed into it. A half-filled profile from a student who never posts is functionally invisible to recruiters running searches.
When a recruiter wants a marketing intern or a finance graduate, they type search terms — not scroll through applicants. If those exact terms aren't in your headline, About section, and skills list, your profile won't appear. This is a solvable problem, and fixing it is the single highest-impact change you can make.
Enabling "Open to Work" tells recruiters you're available — but only if they've already found your profile. Without the underlying profile optimisation, the green banner doesn't help. Our writers ensure the profile behind it is strong enough to convert that initial view into a message.
LinkedIn's algorithm rewards activity. Students who post even once a week during job search season appear in more feeds, receive more profile views, and build connections faster than those who don't. The problem isn't motivation — it's knowing what to say. That's what the content calendar solves.
Yes — that's the point. We build the profile around your actual experiences, your field, and your target roles. The About section is written in first person and in a voice that reflects who you are, not a generic template. We ask the right questions before we write, so the result sounds distinctly like you rather than like every other profile.
An optimised profile doesn't guarantee a job — nothing does. What it does is remove the barriers that stop recruiters from finding you and engaging with you. Profile views increase, InMail responses improve, and connections become more relevant. Whether that leads to an opportunity depends on your field and timing, but you won't get there with a weak profile.
This is exactly where professional writers add the most value. Students with limited experience often undersell what they've actually done — society roles, dissertation work, part-time jobs, volunteering, projects. Our writers know how to frame early-career experience so it reads as genuinely relevant rather than thin. The less you've done, the more the framing matters.
Tone and terminology differ. US profiles tend to be more assertive and achievement-metric focused. UK profiles are slightly more understated. Sector-specific language also varies — what a UK finance recruiter searches for differs from what a US recruiter types. Specify your target market when ordering and your writer adjusts accordingly.
No — you publish everything yourself, from your own account. We draft 8 posts in your voice and give you a 6-week calendar showing exactly when and what to post. You review, approve, and publish each one. This keeps your account completely under your control, and means everything published is genuinely yours — no account risk, no authenticity issues.
Completely. Your career details, the brief you share with us, and the fact that you used our service are never disclosed to any third party. We've operated this policy since 2010 across all our writing services. The only person who publishes your LinkedIn content is you.
Yes — and that's the best approach. The Complete Career Profile package covers CV, cover letter, and LinkedIn together, written by the same writer so everything is consistent in voice and narrative. Recruiters cross-reference both, so having them aligned gives you a significantly stronger overall impression.
