Do You Have a Headless Resume?

In the Q&A she did with us professional resume writer Tracy Laswell Williams, talks about “the headless resume,” which she says is less than desirable. “It has been my experience,” Williams notes, “that many people (especially busy, overworked recruiters and hiring managers) have a hard time summarizing information on their own. Without a focused and persuasive summary at the beginning of your resume, you’re missing a great opportunity to sell yourself by leaving it to the reader to form an overall impression of your qualifications.”
