CV Majster knowledge base

The professional profile, also called the professional summary, is a short section at the very top of a CV. Its purpose is to introduce you to the recruiter in a few seconds.

A good summary should answer three questions: Who are you? What is your key achievement? What is your career goal?

This section is especially important for people with a lot of experience or those changing industries.

Key tips:

  • Keep it to three or four sentences.
  • Use concrete numbers and percentages.
  • Tailor the profile to the requirements in the job ad.
  • Place the summary directly below your contact details.
