What do recruiters look for in a resumé at first glance? Inside Google's Culture of Success and Employee Happiness It’s pretty well documented that Google has a unique culture. It’s not the typical corporate culture. In fact, just by looking at pictures inside the Googleplex, you can see that it looks more like an adult playground, not a place for work. But Google’s success can be attributed to this culture. Google has people who’s sole job is to keep employees happy and maintain productivity. So can Google’s culture teach us anything? Yes. Google bases nearly everything off data, and while some of what’s below may work best only for Google, there are surely other areas that can work for all companies, regardless of size.

For those of you who don’t know, a summary statement (also known as “Summary of Qualifications” or just “Competencies”) essentially consists of a few pithy and strong statements at the beginning of your resume that help summarize your skills and experience in order for a prospective employer to quickly get a sense of the value you could offer. Here’s a sample: Summary Sounds great, right? The short answer is, it depends. If you do decide that a summary statement is right for you, get ready to do some digging and some introspection.
