Profile summary
What does it mean?
Profile text (profiltekst) sits at the top of CV or LinkedIn, summarising experience level, key strengths, sector focus and career goal in a few sentences.
Good profile: specific, keyword-rich, tailored to target role. Bad profile: vague clichés ("hard-working team player") without differentiation.
Example structure: "[Role] with [X years] in [sector]. Specialist in [skills]. Proven [achievement type]. Seeking [target role] in [environment]."
Update profile for each major application direction — one generic profile fits poorly across diverse roles. LinkedIn headline and About section serve similar functions online.
