Question 1

How do I write a professional summary?

Accepted Answer

A professional summary can orient a reader when your experience spans several roles or when the target role is not obvious. It should connect your background to the job in a few focused sentences. It is optional: a generic paragraph can use space better spent on concrete experience.

Question 2

What should the summary say first?

Accepted Answer

Name the work you do or want to do, then mention one or two strengths supported elsewhere in the resume. Keep the language specific enough that it could not be copied unchanged onto every application.
