Any tips for resume healine for experienced candidates?

Hi,

It's amazing if it's yours.

If not ad you are less experienced - you can easily skip the headline. It's not mandatory

Hi,
it is only needed for 10+ year experienced candidates. Otherwise, your experiences will be easily got by your 1 page CV and in the cover letter you will have the chance to make an impactful short introduction about you.

Best,

Hello,

If you don't have a comparable experience I would skip the headline. You will have the time to tell your interviewer about yourself and your CV, there is no need to write down a summary.

Best,
Luca

Hello!

I would only do it if it´s going to look as impressive as that sample one.

If not, stick to the normal CV format and don´t loose space on this. 

Hope it helps!

Cheers, 

Clara
