• Videographer - In Experience But Ready to Learn

• Expert Videographer - Has shot 4 videos in the Last Year

• The poor headlines, on the other hand, are focused on the candidate’s lack of experience and do little to emphasize their strong points. They do not make the applicant stand out from the competition and do not suggest that the candidate has additional skills beyond video production.

• Experienced Videographer with 4 years of experience in shooting videos
• Skilled Videographer seeking new opportunities

Why these are weak:
These summaries are weak because they are too generic and lack specific details or accomplishments. The first summary is simply a statement of fact (that the candidate has 4 years of experience) and doesn't provide any information about the candidate's skills, achievements, or unique value proposition. The second summary is slightly better, as it at least mentions the candidate's skills, but it's still too vague and doesn't provide any specific details or accomplishments that would make the candidate stand out. In a competitive job market, it's important for job seekers to create summaries that differentiate them from other candidates and showcase their unique strengths and value proposition.

Why these are weak:

• What makes the poor objective poor is that it doesn't provide any relevant information about the candidate. Rather, the objective just focuses on the goal of simply getting a job and making money, which doesn't provide any value to the employer. Additionally, the objective fails to mention any relevant skills that could benefit the employer.
