What are you core competencies?  They are general and technical skills, things like teamwork, communication skills, analytic thinking, problem solving, interpersonal skills, etc.

What is a professional summary?  It is a short paragraph that let's employers know more about you, what you are interested in, and what your future goals are.  It helps employers know if you would be a good fit into their business.
