I don’t know that it’s necessary to have a paragraph about yourself, as ppl can call your references to find that out. Also it may sound a bit haughty (for lack of a better word) to point out all your wonderful points – let others do that for you.
However, I do feel it is necessary to write a paragraph describing what you are looking for. Even those who know you well may not know exactly what you want.
Just wondering – what does your resume look like if you have nothing on it? Just your name, age, parents and sibs names, and schools you went to?
Hatzlacha in your search.
