The job summary will give readers a quick overview of the position and hit essential elements, as well as set the stage for your interviews. Summaries should place the role within the company and state main characteristics such as the type of employment (full-time, part-time, contract).

Bullet lists have become the industry standard for requirements and duties, so use this space to discuss the job’s core functions and how it accomplishes company missions. Keep the summary brief, avoid jargon, and limit superlatives. Even if you want to hire “the best customer service agent in the world,” putting that in the summary may cause some talent not to apply because they’re worried that they would be in trouble for having an off day.
