How to Write a Resume Summary That Passes ATS Filters

A resume summary should be 2-4 sentences (30-60 words) combining your professional identity, years of experience, top 3-5 keywords from the job description, and a quantified achievement.

The 4-Part Formula

Professional Identity + Years: "Senior data analyst with 7+ years..."
Core Domain: "...in financial services and fintech..."
Key Skills (3-5 from JD): "...specializing in Python, SQL, Tableau..."
Quantified Achievement: "...who built pipelines serving 200+ stakeholders."
