Craft Your Summary• Do this step LAST
• Start from scratch each and every time
• Use the job description to guide your writing
• 3-5 lines, avoid pronouns
• Research the company
• Don’t assume the employer knows what you’ve done
• Focus on WHAT you did & HOW you did it rather than the WHEN and WHERE
