Hi Samah, As the word "optional" means something that which is not compulsory, so 'optional message' simply means that, you have the choice of including or excluding a particular information in your resume. It is not obligatory. Use your discretion in this regard.

It is basically your cover letter, where you can brief about your profile, it's some extra information to the technical team or hiring manager. It is a way of defining yourself in few words , which will give an insight about you before opening your resume.

Generally, resume should have the following sections: Objectives, Academics, Core Competency, Skill Set, Work History(Projects handled), Bio-data. Apart from these if you have anything to be written, it can be put under Optional Message section. This section need not have the title "Optional Message"...

It means a "cover letter", a kind of brief about your profile, it's some extra information directly to the interviewer. In other words it means define yourself in few words in case if HR does not download your CV

If the company format has a section 'Optional Message' it can be seen as an 'Out of the Box' question. In such a case, you can add some more information about yourself like those mentioned by other facilitators on this forum or how your selection can add value to the organization, your values statement...
