Many hiring managers use their smartphone for emails if they are on the go. That's why an attention grabbing first impression is vital to them reading it fully instead of skimming over it and deleting, or filing it and seeing another resume that gets their attention instead.

Maybe that's why the summary on my resume is catching so many people's attention. Especially when that's the only thing i send and not the full resume. I was surprised they still called me and only had a summary and a phone number.

Hiring manager only care about your relevant experience and education.

As long as you're able to show them that in a clean, eat, organized fashion, everything else is irrelevant to them.
