what is an Introductory statement?

[EchoMikeTango]

I am applying for a supervisor position, and they asked me for an Introductory statement. any ideas?

Is this just to state my skills, and tell a little about myself?

"The most effective resume will quickly grab the readers attention. It is essential that you introduce yourself to the reader with a compelling introductory statement that encapsulates your experience."

Example:

My name is John, I have been a Paramedic since 1995 in the greater Chicago area. I have worked with various ground transport 911 services in this area as well as a couple of private transport companies. I have been with my latest employer, "Star of Life Transport" for the last 6 years working as a full time EMT-P. I hold instructor certification in ACLS, PHTLS, PALS, and BLS from my time as an FTO (Field Training Officer) with my former service. I look forward to a management position with your organization.

You have my permission to use this Introductory Statement

I was born in the back of an ambulance. Standing on steady ground still annoys me, I am incapable of keeping my eyes fixed on any one object for more than 20 seconds and if my hands aren't fiddling with something, I have to sit on them. My first words were "What Code?" and I Always wrote "with" as the letter "c" with a line over it. If I have to do any one thing for longer than 40 minutes, I fall asleep. That includes sex. My children understand to not bother Daddy with anything less than an amputation, and people do what I say because they know I live, breathe and fart the work.
