You Are a Profile, Not a Person

You Are a Profile, Not a Person
They don’t want to know who you are. They want to know if you can deliver the deck, run the meeting, land the client, and never miss a deadline.

You open the job post again. The one you’ve been circling. It’s smart. Exact. The kind of title that hits clean on LinkedIn. You want it. You actually want it. Not just for the money or the name. Because it would mean something.

So you start rewriting yourself.

Not in a journal. In a Google Doc. You cut out anything soft. You turn your wins into bullet points. You write like you are the solution to a business problem. Because in this version of your life, you are.

No one wants your personality. They want outcomes. No one cares where you’re from. They care what case study you led. What client you pitched. How many percent you scaled. Which KPI you crushed.

So you stop writing about values. You stop mentioning culture. You stop trying to be relatable.

You write impact. You write systems. You write ownership and output and cross-functional collaboration. You write like you’ve already been hired.

You update your LinkedIn. You choose a sharp headshot. You rewrite your title to sound senior. You list tools like they are native languages. You add metrics to every sentence. You delete “passionate.” You delete “creative thinker.” You write “delivered.” You write “executed.” You write “owned.”

You scroll through other profiles and borrow phrases. You adjust the font. You remove the past that doesn’t help you now.

You are not lying. You are building.

You use AI for what it’s good at.
Use ChatGPT to optimize your CV for keywords.
Use Teal to version-control every edit.
Use Notion AI to structure your projects like whitepapers.
Use Rezi to predict what will get you the interview.

You do not talk about how you work under pressure. You show the pressure and what came out of it. You do not explain who you are. You show the value of what you’ve done.

This isn’t about authenticity. It’s about strategy. It’s about fitting into a system that rewards sharpness. You’re not here to be liked. You’re here to be hired.

They will scroll. They will scan. They will judge you in twelve seconds.

… so you make sure you win in ten!
