Developing a Summary of Qualifications

The point of developing a targeted resume is to clearly indicate why you are qualified for the job, and to convince the reviewer to grant you an interview to learn more.  The Summary of Qualifications builds on the techniques of dissecting a job ad to compose a very focused 5-7 sentence statement that clearly indicates your scientific, business, and social skills that are RELEVANT FOR THAT JOB and to set expectations.  Professional organizations hire people, not scientists.  Show them you are not just a technical expert, but rather, a person who can apply your technical expertise in an integrated team environment.
