You
I worked at my uncle’s shop last summer. It taught me the value of hard work and responsibility.
Carnile
What happened in that shop that you’d never think to put on the page?
You
Does the About sound like you?
People skim. ChatGPT writes “results-driven.” The first three lines still have to be a person.
The gap
Your work is specific. The About is a keyword dump.
LinkedIn rewards a prompt. Readers do not. If the summary could sit under anyone in your field, it is not doing the job.
The headline leaked into the paragraph.
You already have titles. The About is the fingerprint of the work.
A model wrote the adjectives.
Strategic. Passionate. Proven track record. That is how you disappear.
You cannot say it short.
So you paste a bio and let software compress it. Compression without you is how everyone sounds the same.
What we do
For an About that still sounds like you, we
- 01
Ask what someone who knows your work would recognize in three lines.
- 02
Name that — not a personal brand.
- 03
Leave the summary to you.
- 04
Read it as a stranger who will skim and leave.
How it works
- 01
Talk
You ramble about the About. Carnile asks one question at a time until the real point shows up.
- 02
Ideas
Signal from the noise. Concrete things to write about, in your language. You pin what is live, or you keep talking.
- 03
You write
You type the draft. Every word. The ideas stay pinned so the piece doesn’t drift.
- 04
Craft
Margin notes on what you wrote. Specific. In your voice. Not a rewrite.
Questions
No. Never a draft. Never a silent rewrite. Carnile helps you brainstorm, plan, and edit. You type every word.
The About has to be yours.
Three lines a colleague would recognize. Not a generated summary.
