Frequently asked
What is a resume headline?
A one-line statement at the top of your resume (or your LinkedIn headline) that summarizes who you are professionally — your role, specialization, and ideally a proof point — so a recruiter instantly knows your fit.
How long should a headline be?
One line — roughly 8–14 words. Long enough to include your role, a specialization, and a differentiator; short enough to scan in under a second.
Is it free?
Yes — generate headlines free with an ApplyVita account, alongside ATS scoring and resume rewrites.
