I'm not familiar with a headline but I think you're referring to a business summary or career profile.

this is where you compose 2-4 sentences that tells the reader what you can do for them and an overview of your experience.

example: A marketing assistant with over 5 years experience in the Finance field. Possesses excellent X skills complimented by A, B and C.

Answer 4

There are resumes that make use of career summary or career headlines instead of using the resume objectivesection. These types of resumes are mainly used by executives and/or professionals who have many years of experience.

The resume headlines are few expressive statements that briefly and creatively highlight key skills and accomplishment throughout the career of a person. These few statements must capture the reader's attention.

You need to say who you are, what you offer and what you want. This should be done in no more than around 5 lines. Avoid using lots of adjectives which really don't mean much - motivated, ambitious, proactive.
