I was told by a head hunter that my resume needs an executive summary. This is new for me since im used to objectives. I come from a purchasing/customer service background and graduating with my associates im drafting and design in a week. I don’t know how to tie those together. I probably need two resumes one for drafting and design and another for purchasing. Are they bulleted? When I google I am coming across different ways. Please help me.

Hi Everyone, I am trying to apply for a Technical Support role at Dropbox. I’m entering all the required fields but there seems to be an issue, when I hit submit after filling the form, it doesn’t submit and throws error ‘Looks like you left this blank! Please fill out this required field’ when all the fields are entered already (I have checked so many times, and filled the form from scratch several times too). Anyone from Dropbox who can put me in touch with HR or suggest what I should do next?
