General guidelines to keep in mind: Keep your profile short. Two to five phrases written in a bulleted form or brief paragraph will do. Think of the summary as a snapshot of your skills, accomplishments, and knowledge. Label your profile professionally: Summary of Qualifications, Career Profile, Career Highlights, Professional Summary, or just Summary or Profile. Place your profile section at the top of your resume page, above your work history, so that the employer can see it when they first review your resume.
