Reading hundred's of resumes a day I have found that a strong and direct Summary section at the top of a resume really grabs my attention. Leave out your objective statement and replace it with a summary paragraph. There are basically three topics that you must cover with no more than 4-5 sentences up front.#1 - Education and direct experience summary
#2 - General skills summary
#3 - Personality/working style details
Below is a great example of a powerful summary that will get you noticed:
SUMMARY
B.S. Accounting; Accounting Professional with over four years of intensive general accounting experience. Broad exposure to all accounting functions including AP/AR, GL, budgets, monthly closings, bank reconciliations, variance analysis, bank accruals and working with auditors. Motivated individual with excellent computer skills and advanced knowledge of MS Office Products (MS Excel, Word & Email)
Till next time. Good luck! Scott
