Resume: summary

This section is optional.

  • We recommend a clear short one-sentence summary.

  • Avoid using autogenerated summary by LinkedIn or other tools.

  • Highlighting your strengths compared to other candidates for the positions you are applying to.

  • Avoid using general phrases and mentioning generic skills such as "great communication skills".

  • Try to make it customized for the role you are applying for.
