How to Write a Resume Summary That Hooks Recruiters
A great summary is 2–4 lines that answer: who you are, what you've done, and what you're after. Done well, it earns the next 6 seconds of attention.
Example
Senior Product Manager with 8 years building B2B SaaS products. Launched 3 zero-to-one products generating $12M ARR and led a team of 6 PMs. Looking to bring data-driven product leadership to a Series B platform.
What to avoid
- Buzzwords like 'results-oriented', 'team player', 'hard-working'
- Generic statements with no proof
- First-person pronouns (I, me, my)
- Anything longer than 4 lines
