For your resume, do people have a “Professional Summary” section at the top? Also do most people keep their resume to only 1 page still? I have around 6-7 years of experience at Accenture

1 page is more than enough for 6-7 years of experience

Lead, Batch lasagna, Accenture, 2018-present

Just post what you’ve delivered. Declaring skills is all lies and sales-talk. Explain your actual experience and let that be judged.

As someone who does a lot of hiring, please do include a short professional summary at the top. If we're sifting over 100 CVs for a role, it's really useful for a first glance sift. In terms of single page, for 6-7 years that's probably plenty, but certainly no more than 2 pages. Anything that's not quantified, or reads like a job description rather than an outcome achieved, get rid of it.

Depends on how good your experience is. If it's not that good, you can probably fit onto one page (sounds like it might be here based on other comments?)

If you have top-tier / high-quality experiences, you need more space to explain the outcomes you've delivered. I've seen up to four or five pages for our top candidates.

Obviously don't fill it with fluff/nonsense. We see right through that and will immediately dock you. But you should take the space you need, proportional to the strength of your background.

I have 6 yoe as well. I chose to only list a subset of my projects (the most relevant or impactful ones) and it easily fits on one page. My structure is:
- Summary
- Work Exp (Generalized client roles)
- School
- Skills/Certs

Hell nah

Please don’t put a summary/list skills. Your past jobs are enough.

Do NOT claim you are "colorblind" in the workplace. 1. DE&I knowledge is now a core leadership competency. Colorblind claims will earn you the reputation of being DEI-ignorant at best & racist at worst. 2. Colorblindness within the context of workplace diversity is an obvious lie. You do NOT want to be painted as an intellectually dishonest leader. 3. Colorblind claims signal that you lack the leadership skills & vocabulary to have key conversations. Ask questions here, in this safe space.
