A resume summary should be 2–3 lines: target role, years or depth of relevant experience, and one proof point aligned to the job you want.
Template
“[Role] with [X years / depth] in [domain]. Proven at [outcome]. Seeking [target role] to [contribution].”
Common mistakes
Vague adjectives (“motivated professional”), objective statements about what you want without proof, and summaries that ignore the posting.
Next
Once the summary is tight, make sure your skills section backs it up with the specific tools it name-drops.
