(Tips) Resume : Tips For Developing The Summary

1. Focus on functional strengths first, such as years of experience, areas of expertise, knowledge of key technologies, knowledge of processes or methodologies, or any other items that are DIRECTLY related to your experience or training. Then if you have the room, you can add statements that reflect personal strengths such as skills regarding communication, leadership, troubleshooting, etc. If possible, you can use these personal strengths in a combination with strong statements of functional expertise.

Example:

Over 15 years in technical support with proven ability to rapidly troubleshoot, diagnose, and resolve complex technical issues.
In this case you are documenting your technical support experience but also mentioning your troubleshooting skills.

2. Don't be afraid to mention any major certifications, training, IT skills or education in the summary, even if you are building a formal education section and a formal technical skills section. If you are an MCSE and expert in Windows 2000, then let them know in the summary, the tech skills section and the experience section.
