Now we're gonna move on to the professional summary section. This is where you can just get a real bang for your buck. Okay, so this particular section is all about having three lines to outline basically, what you want to achieve with your job application and resume. So firstly, like we discussed, we are going to tell them what experiences we have, you know, our background. Our second one would be the skills that we picked up. And the third one would be what we're looking for, in regards to our skills and what we want to do going forward.

So I'll just quickly outline this for you. So your past your, your present skills, and then obviously your future ambitions. So those are the three paragraphs that you want to write. Let's go run through this particular resume from Michael Smith. So he's a Chartered Financial Analyst, a CFA I'll bold this to make sure that people are fully aware.
