The synopsis is a summary of all the experience and ambition.
This person gives us his/ her education and work background and plan. It is similar to ‘Objective’, with more details.
The job description is brief and to the point. A few week ago, I told you to say what you achieve,
but don’t summarize what you do. This week, I would like to say that this person can get away
with it because his achievement huge and self-explanatory. If s/he tries to ‘sell’ any harder,
it will sound to boastful.
