Objectives or summaries, do I need either of these on my resume? I'm struggling to get my resume down to one page, so I need to cut out something.

I don't have one and I honestly never have. I have never had anyone ask me why I didn't have one. I would go ahead and take it off, I don't think it is necessary.

I've heard recruiters talk about how they give a resume a very fast scan the first time they see it. So it's to your advantage to have a summary at the top of the page so they can't miss it. You have to make sure your resume is very clear to someone at first glance.

What should the summary say?

I don’t have either one on my mine. Over 17 years of experience in UW. Not necessary. At the top, beside my contact information. I have a bullet point list of key skills.

Short summary is nice. Objective statements haven’t been recommended for a while.

Had an interview for an associate position at Citi. Interviewee was based in London and I’m in NYC. The only interview time that worked was 6am. I was barely functioning and feel like I truly messed up in my answers because I couldn’t not think clearly. I have another with the head of the division next week again at 6am (pre determined before this interview). It was also hard because the division’s core work is private enough that there was not much prep I could do beforehand. Tips?

This is my first job in a large corporate company, and I’m trying to gauge how long it normally takes to move from entry level to another internal position in the insurance industry. I have been applying internally for a year now and I am wondering if this is normal or if my company is just slow? I am a top performer, with great metrics, and I have some wonderful connections I’ve made who support me. I just can’t seem to move up. How long did it take you to move up? How many tries did it take?
