Product design question

How would you improve the LinkedIn user profile page?

Practice this question out loud. An AI interviewer asks it, follows up like a real interviewer would, and scores your answer. Type or speak.

What this question tests

Product improvement thinking on a page you likely use, checking whether you can find a real pain point instead of listing cosmetic tweaks.

State the profile page's two audiences: the owner curating their identity and recruiters or connections viewing it, since improvements differ by audience.
Identify a concrete pain point: profiles read as static resumes, giving recruiters little signal on current availability or real skills.
Prioritize the recruiter-facing use case, since profile views are a major driver of LinkedIn's recruiting revenue.
Propose a feature: a verified 'skills in practice' section showing recent project outcomes or endorsements tied to specific work, not just a skill tag list.
Address the owner's incentive to update it, add a prompt nudging users to refresh stale sections after a job change is detected.
Define success as increased recruiter InMail response rate or profile completion rate after the change.

Picks the recruiter side as the higher-leverage audience and ties it to LinkedIn's actual revenue model, not just user delight.
Proposes a specific mechanism, verified project outcomes, rather than a vague 'make it more engaging' idea.
Addresses the update problem, since stale profiles are the root cause of most complaints about the page.

Suggesting purely cosmetic changes like new themes or fonts with no tie to a business or user outcome.
Ignoring that most users never update their profile, so any feature must solve for staleness.
