Tips for Writing a Resume Profile

By Alison Doyle. Updated May 09, 2018

Some hiring managers recommend that job applicants begin their resume with a resume profile instead of an
objective. But what’s the difference, and why might one be better than the other?

A resume profile is a brief summary of an applicant’s skills, experiences, and goals as they relate to a specific job
opening. On the other hand, a resume objective states the type of position that the applicant is seeking.

Essentially, a profile is a very condensed version of a cover letter. Without restating your entire CV, it matches
your qualifications to the job requirements. The intention is to show the hiring manager quickly and convincingly
that you are the best person for the job.

A resume profile is also referred to as career summary, personal profile statement, profile statement, resume
summary, and summary of qualifications. All refer to profiling your key qualifications for the job on your resume.

What is Included in a Resume Profile? What should be included in a resume profile? A resume profile is
typically several sentences or a short paragraph that highlights an applicant's objectives and ambitions for his or
her next job.

Resume profiles are the first opportunity to highlight a person's relevant career experiences, skills, and what goals
they are looking to achieve while in his or her next position. Your profile should be customized to match the
qualifications the employer is seeking. Well-written resume profiles are concise yet informative.

When written effectively, this section of your resume will catch the eye of a recruiter or employer, setting you apart
from other applicants and securing a phone or formal interview.

Benefits of Using a Profile. A resume profile offers applicants a way to stand out among the hundreds of
resumes that companies receive. Most employers spend only a few seconds looking at a resume, and much of
this time is spent looking at the top half of a resume. Therefore, even if employers only read your profile (located
directly beneath your heading and contact information), they will still have a clear idea of your unique
qualifications.

In addition, your profile can include resume keywords that will help your application get picked up by the applicant
tracking system that many companies use to screen applications for job openings.

Resume Profile vs. Resume Objective. Some employers prefer resume profiles to resume objectives, but it's up
to you to decide which works best for your resume considering your work experience, skills, level of position, and
qualifications for the job for which you are applying.
Stating an objective on your resume is a way to convince employers that you know what you want in a job, while a
profile explains what you have to offer the employer and can help sell your candidacy. Another option is to not use
either and simply start your resume with your most recent work experience.

For example, while an objective might state, "Experienced English teacher seeking position at independent
school," a profile might state, “English teacher with 10 years of experience in independent school systems.
Success in developing creative teaching strategies to achieve passing grade levels on statewide exams." Unlike
the objective, the profile answers the question, "What can this applicant offer the employer?"

Tips for Writing a Resume Profile

Keep Your Profile Concise. A resume profile should be between one and four (brief) sentences long. You can
write your profile as a short paragraph or in bullet form.

Focus on the Job Listing. In your profile, only include the skills and qualifications that relate to the specific job
for which you are applying. A profile is particularly helpful if you have a work history that is unrelated to your
current career goals – it allows you to highlight only your most relevant experience.

Focus on the Future. A profile serves to show what you have to offer an employer – what you will do for the
company in the future. Look at the job listing for insights into what the company is looking for in an employee. In
your profile, explain how you will meet the company’s expectations.

Does a sales director position require someone who can improve the company’s sales record? Your profile may
state you are an "Accomplished sales director with success in developing strategies that have generated 6- and 7-
figure revenue growth." Explain what you have done as a way of showing the hiring manager what you can and
will do, if they hire you.

Location Matters. It's important that your resume objective is listed where an employer can see it when they first
review your resume, so list your profile at the top of the page, above your work history.

Resume Profile Examples. It's always helpful to review samples to get ideas for your own resume. When writing
your own profiles, try to integrate your employment history and skills into the qualifications listed in the job posting,
so you appear, at first glance, well qualified for the job.

B. Give the definition for:

-Resume:
From the points of view, there are two types of curriculum to create our own professional profile, which
depends on our description of the person who makes known what we want, what we are capable of and
what we can offer depending on our studies and work or life experiences. everyday

- Profile: A resume profile must take into account that among the shortest I specify and the quickest way
to express our way of working will be better evaluated

- Objective: As an objective we must be more than clear and specific in what we want and not just what
is offered as work in a more precise way in a few words and very direct to our profession

-Qualifications: Due to the fact that employers require a good professional, they still study the number of
profiles that come, maybe if we adapt to a good system such as the vitae, it will be more attentive for
them seeing the personality or way of identifying themselves avoiding the odd question from the
contractor
- Applicant: The intention is to quickly and convincingly show the hiring manager that you are the best
person for the job
