A resume profile or summary which are pretty synonymous is basically a section at the top of your resume after your name and contact information which just highlights the top skills you have and how they are relevant to your future employer and it is a very helpful thing if you have maybe a lot of work experience or you are making a transition or maybe you have had some relevant experience or specific type of technical skills that are very relevant to your future employer but they would probably be at the end of your resume. An example of such thing might be you want to do global health or international development work and you did the Peace Corps but it was five years ago and ever since then, you have been doing domestic work. So maybe you could mention that you have two years of relevant experience in any random country. All this information should be at the top of the resume to grab their attention.
However, the summary is not an essential part of the resume. If your resume is pretty straightforward and you have pretty much had a fairly straightforward trajectory and everything that you have done is kind of similar in that same type of job, then probably you don't need the summary and you can just leave that part.
Below mentioned are some profile summary ideas:
Start the summary statement by writing about your education. For example one can begin by writing, "B.Com Graduate from any random College in your State."
In the second part of your profile statement, you should write about any prior that you have. For instance one can begin by writing "Team Leader with more than 4 years experience in Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and team management in XYZ organization. Specializing in increasing the online traffic on the website, which leads to increase in customer leads and sales."
You can start the sentence by writing – "looking to contribute my skills and experience to the...." ,and then complete the sentence with the area of the company such as accounting department, management team, engineering department, sales team and then finally add in the name of the company at the end of the sentence. For example, looking to contribute my skills and experience to the management at the XYZ Company.
If you follow the above mentioned steps and ideas, your profile statement would be complete and a very powerful one too.
