PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY
State the position you seek, the organization you want to work for (if applicable), and a few job-related skills you are bringing to the
table (a.k.a. your “pitch”). In the second sentence, offer a little more about your character (soft skills) and tie in your personal mission;
this is a good place to add some keyword filler for ATS if you cannot find a place to do so elsewhere in the resume. Stick to 1-2
sentences.

Add a little more about your background here as needed, if it’s relevant, and only if you have the space to do so; customize
this section heading at your discretion
Each section of the resume should be organized with priority in mind, with the most relevant and important information for
the job positioned at the top of the page (the least relevant information - though still noteworthy - would therefore be
positioned toward the bottom)
Include hyperlinks to news articles, projects, sites, etc. only in resumes that are emailed directly to people; exclude those
links when applying through an ATS
