Start with a goal, an objective. It may be helpful to ask yourself questions like: What do I want to be doing? Where do I want to be? Your career objective is a personal statement which defines the specifics which you wish to attain with respect to your professional work.
It’s personal. Others may share similar goals, but your objective should state your goals in terms that you are comfortable with.
It’s a commitment. Stating a goal is a form of identifying who you are and what you want to achieve.
It’s action-oriented. It’s you taking control of your life and communicating what you can do to an employer in action terms.
It’s directional. By focusing on your future, you can identify the next steps to take, which resources to seek. Your focus can be short-range or long-range. The more completely you examine your future, the better able you will be to evaluate potential work situations.
It’s specific. It clearly identifies some facts or elements about a work situation. Broad terms such as “successful” or “challenging” may mean something to you, but they convey no facts to an employer.
What Do You Include In A Career Objective?
Deciding what to include in a career objective is often a difficult task. This guide will review possible elements of a career objective to help you decide what to include. Remember, a career objective is personal, so deciding what to include is your decision.
Career Fields are general areas of work which include many different job titles that require similar kinds of work activities. You may be considering several different job titles within a career field. Identifying the career field category allows you to specify a broad area you are interested in without limiting you to specific titles. While you may be interested in more than one career field, for purposes of the career objective, it is better to limit yourself to one.
Examples:
· “To work in the health field as an administrator in a service delivery unit.”
· “To do research within the field of law.”
You must decide what you want to do - and how you want to do it, before you can say what your objective is.
Good Luck

Look at this as a 'goal'. Are you a leader? Are you innovative? Are you an honest, steady worker? Where and what would you be doing if you had the 'perfect' job? Not the specific job, but what qualities would that job have.
THAT is a career objective.

Your career objective should be clearly stated and well-understood so that you - and your employer or future employer - truly understand your goals.
Take a look at this article. It may provide additional information.
