    I skipped it for years, but I've put it back on the latest version of my CV I did, along with a sort of profile summary.

    Well-worded, it should give an employer a clear idea of what it is you want, and what you bring in return. Many people can't be tossed to read a covering note, so this sort of objective/profile statement at the top of the CV helps compensate for that.

    • Sounds like a Bio more than anything else.omahadesigns
    • Not so much a bio as it is a sort of overview of your key strengths, before they go on to read your work history, awards, education, etcContinuity
