Professional Summary

The summary is the first thing a reader sees under your name, so it works like a headline for the whole CV. In the UK it's often called a personal statement; on a CV builder it may be labelled “About me”. A simple formula:

1. Who you are: role, field and years of experience.
2. What you're best at: two or three strengths, ideally with one result.
3. What you want next: the kind of role or problem you're aiming for.

Example: “Customer support lead with six years in SaaS. Built a 12-person team and cut first-reply time by half. Looking to grow a support operation at a fast-scaling product company.”

A recruiter who reads only the top third of your CV should still know what you do and why you fit. A specific summary — with your field, a strength and a result — sets that frame; a vague one (“hard-working team player seeking new challenges”) wastes the best spot on the page. Tailor it to each kind of role, reuse the posting's key terms where they're true, and keep it short. If you're changing careers or just starting out, a career objective may serve you better.

In Twin CV your summary lives in About me on your profile and shows as “About / Summary” in the designs. Ask the assistant to polish your about me and it rewrites it from what's on your CV — it won't add claims you haven't made. Your AI twin draws on it too when visitors ask who you are.
