The profile text is a guide to the reader of the CV.
Your CV should include a profile text or some kind of summary that serves as an introduction. The porfile text should be short and precise - about 5 lines. The purpose of the text is to summarise your experiences and competences so that your overall profile stands out more clearly to the reader.
The profile text is important because the reader will read the top half of the front page of your CV most thoroughly and then skim the rest (at least in the first place). So you help the reader by targeting the text so they do not have to look for why you are a match for the job.
Target the profile text
Therefore, it’s a good idea to revise the profile text every time you send out your CV. It may not be necessary to rewrite it altogether, but you should tweak it to fit as closely as possible to what is required in the position you are applying for. Here, research is the foundation, on which you must build it all.
Show how your experience is relevant
If your experiences are pointing in different directions - one pointing towards the field of communication, one who points to some shop experience and a master’s degree in public health science with a bachelor’s degree in health care - you have to help the reader see a common thread through your profile.
All your experiences may be relevant, but it requires a translation from sporadic picks to an overall narrative. If one of the experiences you’ve mentioned in the CV doen’t fit the narrative, it is possible that it is not relevant enough to be included in the CV.
The profile text should be short - max. 5 lines.
