Your resume's headline is your brand

I’ve been coaching candidates this month to write a 2-line resume headline that mirrors their LinkedIn tagline and the first 200 characters of their summary, and it’s boosting replies from recruiters. What’s the single brand promise you’d put at the top of your resume, and what proof would you pair with it in the first few bullets? Quick tip: pull three quantified wins from the last 18 months and build the headline around the strongest verb + result — you’ll project clarity and momentum.

I use a ‘Title + promise + proof’ line like ‘Ops lead who cuts cycle time 30% — stood up S&OP across 4 plants,’ and treat it as the trailer, not the movie; first bullet backs it with the KPI source… Caveat: I A/B two versions against target keywords via LinkedIn profile views — anyone getting better signal from application conversions?
