Writing a Resume Summary can be the quickest and easiest way to get your resume noticed and separated from the pack. A hiring manager may immediately think to himself "I need to call this person now before my competitor does!" Do you want that kind of response? Of course you do.

Now, how do you go about doing this for your resume? The task is relatively straightforward if you can follow simple instructions. On a separate sheet of paper, list your jobs, duties performed on each job and the dates employed there. This will show a common theme (i.e. what you are good at and your strongest capabilities) which you will use for the summary portion of the resume.

Replace the job objective part of the resume with a three or four sentence statement now titled summary. It should indicate who you are, what you are proficient at, what you are seeking and the balance of your talents. Remember to only include positive things in this area.

Never, under any circumstances include negative things on a resume. These will be brought up during the interview process if at all. Don't volunteer them if not asked. Use descriptive terms like successful or proficient in this area to describe yourself. Remember to back up this statement with actual facts. For example if your area is a cost cutting analyst, include the amount of money you save a previous company during a fiscal year.

By basing your entire resume off of your summary section, you are essentially writing one large sale page about yourself. This is what a resume is after all - a way of stating your strengths. It should be designed to make the reader want to call you to schedule a personal interview. Always keep that in the back of your mind. A resume can always be improved upon if you remember that simple face. Now go write that killer summary.

Good luck!
