The resume summary is a place to highlight information that doesn’t have a place elsewhere, not to repeat information the recruiter already has access to.

You need to explain why you are a good fit for the role, even if their experience is in a completely different field. Direct a recruiter’s attention to a specific role you’re interested in, highlight specific skills and achievements that aligns with the job description.

• Don’t use numerals (1,2,3) as bullet points.
• Bullets or paragraphs that are 3 lines or longer, are likely to not be read.
• Don’t abbreviate job titles. But if used in Job Description, then use both like Certified Scrum Master (CSM).
• Avoid phrases like "responsible for..." and "duties included..."
• Remove personal pronouns (e.g. I, my, me)
• Articles of speech (a, an, the) are omitted on resumes since they tend to slow the reader and waste valuable time.
