TIPS:
Write a Strong Summary Statement
Your summary is the first thing recruiters see, so make it count. In two to three sentences, highlight your top skills, years of experience, and what makes you stand out. Think of it as your elevator pitch.
For instance, instead of saying, “I am looking for a customer service role,” say, “Customer service professional with over seven years of experience delivering exceptional client experiences and resolving complex issues efficiently. Skilled in multitasking, team collaboration, and using CRM tools.” This immediately grabs attention and communicates your value.
