Summary
Make it your elevator pitch — concise with
no fluffs and buzzwords.

Mention only relevant information that

would help recruiters decide during the
hiring process.

(eg. experience, industry, niche & where

you're headed in the future)

For example:

"A product management professional with diverse

experience in driving process improvements,
efficiency, and effectiveness initiatives at start-ups."

"3 years of experience building B2B & B2C products

for companies such as Zomato, Amazon, Uber.
Generated > USD 400M in revenue."

responsibilities.

The product you worked on.

How does it help its users?
How did you improve it?
