What is the "objective" part of a resume? What am I supposed to write here?

Answer 1

You don't even need an objective part if it's giving you trouble. Use the room you save by eliminating that section to make another section more detailed. Just customize your resume to highlight your strengths. Put your best assets higher up, so they are the first thing a potential employer looks at. Good luck!

Answer 2

I just got thru typing this for someone else. Go to the library and get the book for power resumes. Read it all the way through. When you are done you will have an excellent resume to hand out. Objective ususally means what job are you looking for. Full time receptionist-part-time what ever. It's the job you want. Change it to fit the job you are aiming at. Get the book. It will be well worth your time. Your resume represents you and a good one will get you higher pay and better benefits.

Answer 3

It depends on your field.

I don't have an objective on my resume and I've gotten PLENTY of calls and interviews.

If you MUST include one, briefly state: The job you are applying for, and a few of your strenghts.

Example:


Objective: To obtain a position as chief bottle-washer where superior skill at cleanliness may be combined with a detailed knowledge of cleaners may be combined for continued profit and sucess.


Usually, I go with a career summary instead.

Example:

Career summary: A highly skilled bottle-washer with an established record of cleanliness, efficiency with an extraordinary knowledge of cleaning products.

either is acceptable.

Answer 4

Just state what kind of position you're shooting for.

"Highly motivated individual seeking entry-level financial sales position" is a one.

Something along those lines is all you need.

Answer 5

what your intentions are, career wise, if you are hired by the company. Or what you hope to accomplish or develop when you are hired.
