💡 It's essential to review job descriptions carefully and include relevant keywords in your "About" section to get past the ATS (Applicant Tracking System).
Start with key information: Mention your job title (with a descriptive adjective), your years of experience, and the industries you've worked in. These details help you show up in the right searches.
Example: Tech-savvy project manager with 5+ years of experience in B2B, SaaS, fintech, and healthtech sectors.
List your skills: In your next sentence, say "I specialize in" and list three main areas you excel in (check the job description to match it). Then add "expert knowledge" and mention the tools you use (hard skills).
Example: I specialize in Agile methodologies, team leadership, and process improvement, with expert knowledge of Atlassian tools like Jira, Kanban boards, and Confluence.
Explain your value: Describe how you can help the company reach its goals (like making money).
Example: I turn strategic goals into successful projects.
Finish with three key achievements: Highlight three significant accomplishments from your past roles, each in one sentence. Make sure these results are measurable.
Example:
Keep it concise—every word should work for you and include keywords that recruiters look for in the ideal candidate.
Compare your "About" section to the job description; it should match closely.
