Ask HN: How would you describe yourself/your achievements in two sentences?

3 pointsboggles16y ago2 comments

I'm working on my online resume and having trouble with the personal statement.

There's a part where you have to sum yourself up in two sentences.

I guess this is supposed to be where you show your creativity but I can't help feeling that any two-sentence summary of myself is going to fall short in some way.

I'm wondering if anyone here could suggest an approach.

What have you done? What are you going to do?

Write a big paragraph, then reduce it.
