Profile Ideas for a Resume That Stands Out

• Lead with the job title you want, not your current one (if they differ)
• Use your most impressive number
• Mention a specialty or niche ("pediatric," "B2B SaaS," "commercial construction")
• Add one credential that matters (license, certification)
• Cut clichés like "hardworking team player"
