Resume Writing Tip: How to Write the "Summary of Qualifications"
The "Summary of Qualifications" is often found on most professionally written resumes for a good reason. It is one of the first points of focus of recruiters when they look at your resume as it is at the top of the page. Also, as the name indicates, it provides a good overview of what you can bring to your prospective employer, which, in the eyes of the recruiter, is a time saver.
A good trick when people want to make their point go across is to provide an overview of the facts/ arguments and subsequently narrow in with more details. This is exactly what the "Summary of Qualifications" does.
