What to put in it

A sample summary

Here is a short summary you can adapt:

> Product manager with 7 years shipping B2B software. Owns roadmap, metrics and cross team delivery.

Keep your own summary to two or three lines. Name your role, your years of experience and your strongest skill.

Three sample bullet points

Strong bullets start with an action word and end with a result.

Notice that each line has a number. Numbers make your work easy to believe and easy to compare.

A mistake to avoid

Using fancy section names like My Journey. Stick to Experience, Education and Skills.
