What you will get

Three options for a three-line resume summary that lead with your strongest selling point, use keywords from the job post and avoid empty phrases like “hard-working” and “team player”.

Common mistake

The three options only differ in word order.

Fix: Ask for “three different angles: one led by results, one by skills, one by industry knowledge”. Then pick the one that fits the advert.

Also watch for
  • The summary stretches your achievement. Use only the achievement you gave, with the real number. A recruiter may ask about the summary first.
  • Keywords are copied so heavily that it sounds like the advert. Ask “use at most three keywords from the post, in my own phrasing”.
Try a variation: entry level

With little experience, replace the years of experience with “final-year student with two projects and one internship” and lead with the project result. Highlight what you built.
