You should include it especially if your experience is kind of all over the place. It helps in place of a cover letter if it’s difficult to tell what you bring to the table and what roles you’re after despite your history.

I usually do it. What is your main concern about it?

That makes sense

They do. Keep it very simple and relevant so that you’ll have talking points during an interview.

Try not to blink too much or you will implode. Type as fast as you can. And try to list as little as you can. Don't be lazy and chatspt or random app to help they will see through that.

I've heard that they do. But it's just one part of your overall résumé. Plus it's a way to add a few more keywords.

Absolutely. I have more than 18 years of recruiting experience (Executive, Retained, Contingency and Staffing) and I read the summaries as they helped shape the entire resume into how the candidate saw themselves as opposed to their previous roles/duties.
