 what you bring from prior experiences to a
 specific job opening.
   Headings like “Summary Statement,” or “Career
   Summary.”
How to Write a Solid Objective

 No more than 3 lines long.
 Include 3 parts: the type of job you are
 looking for, the context you want to work in,
 and what you can do for the company:

Example: “A full-time computer-science
 position aimed at solving engineering
 problems and contributing to a management
 team.”
How to Write A Solid Summary

  3-5 lines long
  Include who, what, and major achievements.

Example: “Astute senior analyst and corporate
 financial planner with 11 years of experience
 and proven success enhancing P&L
 scenarios by millions of dollars.
 Demonstrated ability to apply critical thinking
 and sound strategic/economic analysis to
 multi-dimensional business issues.”
Choose wisely!
    Use headings!
