Help me rewrite my LinkedIn headline and About section.

Current headline: [paste it]
Current About section: [paste it, or "empty"]
Jobs I want next: [titles]
My specialisms and results: [list]
Tone: [e.g. professional, warm, straightforward]

Ask me up to 3 short questions first if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers.

Then:
1. Three headline options, each under 220 characters, with the most searched words first.
2. An About section of 2 or 3 short paragraphs: what I do, proof, what I'm looking for and how to contact me.
3. Five skills to list, matched to the jobs I want.
4. Two lines to update in my Experience section so it matches.

Only use what I've told you, leave blanks for anything I haven't given, and don't invent facts, dates or results. UK English.

A short example

Fill the blanks, then paste. paste it: a short note you already have. paste it, or "empty": a short note you already have. Leave the rest of the prompt as written.
