Awesome-CV cventry with summary

I'd like to have the ability to write a summary statement about a work position. An example of this is shown in the this example resume, shown below (e.g. see "Manage all phases of graphic user interface design projects…" under the first position listed, before the bullet points).

technical resume

It is often helpful to provide a quick summary of each position, and for older positions, it is generally more helpful to only provide a summary and omit any bullet points explaining details. It is also preferable for cases where you would only have a single bullet point, for example the entries under the "Writing" section in the example resume of this project should omit the bullet point and just be shown as a summary sentence.

Is there a way to accomplish this using the existing commands in this package? If not, how could one create something like a \cventrywithsummary command, that would take one additional argument, a summary sentence or sentences, over \cventry?

a template is for consistent and non-changing layout. If you need stuff to change multiple times, i don't recommend a template.

I don't follow your comment. I simply want to put a paragraph of text before the bullet point list of items in the description field of \cventry.

First of all, thanks to your interest on Awesome CV template. I always welcome other people's suggestions and the PR with their own implementation. However, I should carefully consider whether to accept or not. And I don't have much time for this because I have my work which is so busy these days.

If you think your idea might be helpful to other people, please implement and make the PR. Then, maybe, some people will thankfully use your code. And I'll review your code later when I have a time!
