how is this for a purpose statement for your resume -?

The purpose statement or sometimes called the summary statement needs to provide four pieces of information, usually with one sentence each.

1) Who you are professionally and how you want to be known

2) Brief summary of your background including areas of functional expertise

3) Your strengths linked to real results or contributions

4) Finish up with a personal statement about yourself

You should be able to take what you have already written and see if it includes all or part of these four elements. Looking at your current statement, you are missing the 1st element. Your first sentence is the 2nd element, but you should eliminate the part about remaining in a position and just say background includes accounting, management, ...

You should take your 2nd sentence and rework it to respond to element 3 and indicate how effective you were at increasing sales at your last job. Then add the 4th element where you can say "Driven to make customer satisfaction a reality, not just a slogan" or something more appropriate given your own work ethic and values.

I hope you find this helpful!
