I am asked all the time why I gave up a lucrative career in entertainment to become a recruiter. The answer is simple: I love working with those who can benefit from my years of expertise as an artist development executive.

Once a staple, the summary statement seems to be on its way out — or perhaps it's already dead. I've read many resumes that contain summary statements which, in effect, say nothing at all.
