    Who should use a Qualifications Summary? Individuals with at least five, and preferably more, years of experience at their craft are better candidates for a Qualifications Summary. The five-year benchmark is not a hard-and-fast rule. It’s just that after about five years in your field, you will have accumulated enough experience and accomplishments to warrant a synopsis of your career. You should also consider using a Qualifications Summary if the following are true:

    • You’re qualified for the management or executive echelon. The sheer breadth of your experience demands a summary, just as a 200-page thesis calls for an introductory abstract.
    • You’re a professional or have broad experiences in your field. A Qualifications Summary will pull broad-based generalist skills into one easy-to-digest paragraph.
      Your most impressive accomplishments won’t be seen until the latter part of the résumé. In this case, a Qualifications Summary will position the heart of your experience at the heart of the résumé.
    • You are targeting a position that calls on experience found only in the early stages of your career. Mentioning earlier experiences in a Qualifications Summary will breathe new life into dated employment.
    • Your résumé will have to pass the rigors of computer scanning software or Internet search engines.
