Stefanie Fackrell, a former recruiter at Google and Nvidia, shared three tips for resume summary writing,

She also gave a brief about how one should write the summary in their resume and why does it matter.

She told CNBC Make It, “I am always impressed with people that can really package it very well. I think a great summary just really showcases what the person brings to the table”, including “what they’re passionate about, what they’ve done in their career.” She stated that just three to five sentences are enough.

When applying for a managerial position, she recommends including words like “seasoned program manager” or “passionate about learning and development.”

Fackrell advises not to mention the number of years of experience in the resume summary to avoid bias or ageism. Instead, let your resume and LinkedIn profile naturally show your experience.

Secondly, applicants need to analyse if the industry that they are aiming for really requires a summary at all. She said, “High finance, I think, and lawyers really don’t do professional summaries.”

Before creating your resume summary, Fackrell advises conducting research, particularly if you're starting a new job or switching industries. Check up what is normal for resumes in that field using Google. It's critical to be organized.

She also advises keeping a list of accomplishments so you don't forget how you've contributed to your teams. You can format it like a resume if it helps you organize better. This way, you can easily pick and choose what to include in your resume.
