There are many different ways to help your resume stand out to hiring managers. One is to include an \u201cAbout Me\u201d section. This will give an employer a quick overview of your skills and abilities, while also helping to set your background apart from the flood of other resumes.<\/p>\r\n
So what does it include?<\/em><\/p>\r\n An \u201cAbout Me\u201d section should include the most relevant strengths and abilities you have, as well as your biggest accomplishment. This content might change depending on the position<\/a> and company you\u2019re applying to. However, look at it as an area to showcase what makes you the best candidate for the job.<\/p>\r\n If you\u2019re having trouble getting started writing it, think of a hiring manager asking you: \u201cWhy should we hire you?\u201d Then start from there. Here are some additional tips to keep in mind:<\/p>\r\n Identify who you are professionally with your current job title<\/a>. You can also use words like \u201centry-level\u201d or \u201cexperienced\u201d to further paint a picture of where you are professionally.<\/p>\r\n Focus on one or two of your biggest assets that are most relevant to the position. For instance, if there\u2019s a certain project you worked on, special skill<\/a> you have, or a certification you earned that\u2019s critical to the role, make sure you are highlighting these. You can also briefly touch on what makes you passionate about the industry and why you want to work for the company.<\/p>\r\n The \u201cAbout Me\u201d section should conclude with your career goals, both short- and long-term and how they relate to the position.<\/p>\r\n Here\u2019s an example for a customer service representative:<\/p>\r\n Friendly, professional and experienced customer service professional with 5 years in current position. Strong interpersonal skills and excels in organization and customer satisfaction. Creative when it comes to solving problems and willing to go the extra mile to ensure customer loyalty, as evidenced by a 25% growth in customer loyalty rates.
