This is a descriptive overview of your professional profile. It occupies most of the summary page and consists of three key elements:
1. A descriptive introduction of your professional designation (e.g. a Chartered Accountant or web designer), backed up by key features of your professional self, and also including your immediate ambitions. Ideally this should be punchy, precise and no more than three (15-word) sentences.
2. Key skills, listed as bullet points. Eight points is sufficient, make sure they're relevant to the particular position and concisely written. This will include not only your formal training, but also workplace acumen
3. Achievements: these should be presented in the same manner as skills, although about three significant achievements are enough.
Hmm, yeah, it's been a long time since I had to put one together, and a lot has changed, so personalizing it in that way doesn't seem to be necessary or appropriate anymore.

I think the interviewers might think I was a bit overqualified if they saw 'astronaut training' on my cv. Or possibly that I'm a big fat liar.
