every week the summary section on your
resume is one of the most important
parts on your resume it's the section
that appears right below your name and
contact information and if you don't get
this section right chances are you'll
never be invited to an interview now if
you haven't written a resume in a really
long time you might be thinking is the
summary section the same as an objective
statement and I'm here to tell you my
friend the objective statement is old
news it's a thing of the past
so rather than telling the employer what
you want out of a position you're going
to tell them how you can help them solve
their biggest problems you might have
heard a resume summary called a
professional profile a career summary or
even a professional summary either way
follow these three tips to help you
write a stand out summary tip number one
begin your summary with a professional
title the main goal of a resume summary
is to quickly grab the attention of a
hiring manager after all they're sifting
through hundreds of resumes a day so to
make their job easier
start your summary with a professional
title this could be a title that you
currently hold or a title that you're
eager to hold an example of this would
be proactive sales and marketing manager
or proactive client focused
temir relationship manager you'll notice
in these examples we've added action
verbs in front of the title for added
impact some other common action verbs
could be reliable resourceful energetic
just to name a few
tip number two is to explain your
greatest accomplishments with your title
and place you now want to explain in two
to three sentences what you can do for a
company this is your chance to explain
your key skills and your key outcomes
and demonstrate how your background and
your experience will help the company
solve a particular problem mention the
number of years you've worked in a
specific position or industry and what
your greatest accomplishment has been in
that area for example you could say
something like over five years of
experience resolving customer complaints
and promoting conflict resolution if you
need help creating the other sections of
your resume I have you covered I created
a video where you'll learn five steps to
create a winning resume I'll go ahead

this one and of course don't forget to

next job tip number three conclude with
your expertise in the final sentence of
your resume summary you want to discuss
your specialty and what makes you an
expert so out of all the other resumes
that the hiring official is looking at
what makes you unique and special what
key skills can you bring to the table
that perhaps someone else can't here's
an example expertise in client services
account management and relationship
building and as a bonus tip you want to
make sure you're using key words and
keyword phrases in your resume summary
for example if the job posting lists
multiple times that they need someone
with presentation skills or someone that
can handle slide decks you want to make
sure you mention that in your summary

your resume take a look at the video
