# Context
Original working context: Act as a LinkedIn brand copywriter. Rewrite my LinkedIn About section. Current About: {{paste_current_about_or_write_n_a}} My background: {{brief_background}} My current work: {{what_you_do_now}} My goal on LinkedIn: {{attract_clients_build_audience_get_hired_network}} Write the About section in first person, conversational tone. Structure: Hook (open with a story or bold statement, NOT 'I am a...'), Journey (1–2 short paragraphs β€” the path that built you), What I do now (crisp and benefit-led), Who I work with, CTA at the end (email / DM / schedule a call). Max 300 words. Break into short paragraphs.

# Goal
Produce the exact deliverable requested for this use-case. Make the output practical, specific, and ready to use.

# Constraints
- Use the user's variables exactly where relevant.
- Avoid generic filler and vague advice.
- Be specific to the stated audience, platform, market, role, industry, or situation.
- Ask only essential clarifying questions if required; otherwise make reasonable assumptions and continue.

# Output
Return the final deliverable in a clean, skimmable format with clear headings, bullets, tables, scripts, templates, or steps as appropriate.
