What is a Headline?

The headline is a short blurb that introduces you to employers that are deciding whether to send you an initial message and talk more. Below is an example of what you look like to an employer:

What makes an effective headline?

  • Communicates what makes you unique — what can you contribute to a school?

  • What hard skills, experience, and accomplishments do you bring to the table?

  • What are you passionate about? What do you value?

  • Succinct, grammatical, polished

Examples, please!
