Headding section

A resume headline is a resume title that highlights you briefly within 5-8 words to the recruiter. It presents your value to the employer as a candidate. A headline for resume should be an eye catchy statement that must represent your entire content in a short.

Not unnecessarily, header on a resume has to be written with relevant keywords. Your headline should be easy to read and must be relevant with job post which you are applying for.

We can also say that a header must include a full name on the top of the resume.

Recruiters love to choose resumes using Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) in almost 99% times. ATS works with some keywords and experiences which match in the resume. The resumes which don’t match with the tracking system reject automatically.

So, a headline for a resume is important for the very beginning.

ENTRY-LEVEL JOB

Entry-level job seekers start their careers with entry-level jobs. The job seekers who have recently graduated and have no working experience are familiar as entry-level job seekers.

Actually, in this stage headline may be written with the contact information and the latest degree that is achieved by an individual. Though many experts suggest that avoid writing addresses or contact info in the headline, but as a fresh graduate if anyone write their contact information it can be considered.

An entry-level resume headline can be a combination of an achieved degree and a special strength relevant with the job where you are applying.

Here we suggest some entry-level resume headline examples so that you can relate these with your job posting and write a killing headline to attract your recruiter;
