Frequently Asked Questions

Small yellow page divider
What is a resume headline?

It’s a one-line phrase, sometimes referred to as a tagline, that typically appears below your name or near your name on your resume. Headlines normally use title case (capitalizing major words) to draw attention and underscore importance.

It serves a few purposes:

  • It’s a concise picture of the value you can offer a company based on your qualifications, experience, and/or skills
  • Because it’s short, if it’s well-written, it can engage the recruiter or employer quickly, encouraging them to read the rest of your resume
  • If done well, a resume headline will marry your value with the job description to show clear alignment for the role

    • If it will add value to your headline, mention your years of experience. Be sure to mirror the language in the job description while including:

  • Your job title
  • A professional strength or achievement you want to highlight

    • Resume headline example:

    What is the difference between a resume headline and summary?

    Resume headline: one-line tagline to capture the reader’s attention by showing your immediate value.

    Summary: a short paragraph that pitches your candidacy for the role based on experience, career highlights, and your goals for the job you’re applying for.

    While a resume headline is a one-line snapshot of your value to a role, a summary is typically two to three sentences that provide a synopsis of your career history over 10 or more years of experience. Summaries will include years of experience and share accomplishments that help prove alignment with the role.

    How do I create a catchy resume headline?

    There are a couple of ways you can write a headline that catches attention and immediately highlights your value and alignment with the role. First, you can use an AI resume headline tool to write the copy based on the rest of your resume and the job description.

    But if you’d like to write it on your own, you’ll need the following information:

  • Your job title
  • Professional characteristics, qualifications, and skills you possess and that are a unique selling point
  • Language, tone, and requirements from the job description
  • Potentially your years of experience

    • From there, you can merge relevant details together to build a concise statement that will hook the reader.

    Where do you put a headline on a resume?

    Place your headline at the top of your resume, either beneath your name or at the top of the sidebar, if you’re using a two-column layout.
