How to write about me in a resume
Start with your degree, college or current role in a few words.
Add two or three skills that match the job post.
Add one line of proof: a project, an internship or a result, with a number if you have one.
Finish with the role you want.
Read it as a recruiter would. If it does not say why you fit this job, swap in a better skill or project.
Common mistakes
- Writing about me as a life story ("I was born and brought up in…").
- Listing only soft skills: hardworking, punctual, team player.
- A summary that does not match the role you applied for.
What is a resume summary?
A resume summary, also called a professional summary or profile, is the same thing as an "about me" section: two or three lines at the top that sum you up as a candidate. Recruiters read it first, so it shapes how they read the rest of the page.
How is a resume summary for experienced candidates different?
A fresher summary leans on education, skills and projects, because that is your proof. An experienced summary leads with years of experience, the kind of work you have done and one measurable result. Both end with the role you want next.
If you have no internship yet, a career objective may suit you better.

Questions freshers ask
The same as an about me section: two or three lines with the role you want, your top skills and one result you can point to. Experienced candidates lead with years and results; freshers lead with projects and skills.
Your degree or role, two or three skills that match the job, one piece of proof such as a project or internship, and the role you want. Keep it to two or three lines.
Start with your degree, add the skills from the job post that you actually have, mention your best project or internship, and end with the role you want. The fresher examples on this page follow that pattern.
Close, but not the same. A summary describes what you have done; an objective describes the role you want. Freshers with little experience often use an objective instead.
Two to three lines, under 50 words. A longer summary pushes your skills and projects down the page.
