Say, I'm qualified as a teacher, but I also want to apply for computer related jobs; should i put the two objectives in one resume or should i prepare separate resume for each objective? Thanks..

Each resume should only have a single objective. For best results, each resume should be tailored for the specific type of position, highlighting the skills and experience for each type of job. A good teaching resume should look different than a good IT resume. If you are using a straight chronological resume, you might want to look into what the advantages would be of preparing a 'functional' resume which highlights skills rather than work history. This is very effective when you are applying for widely different positions.. You can find samples and formats for different types of resume formats if you search online, or you can try the microsoft.com downloads section for a wide variety of templates you can customize for your needs. Good luck!

Yes, it's OK to not put an Objective. However, I would insure that my use of the English language was better than the way I asked this question! My experience on writing a good resume / CV is based on the response. Good responses are not a result of inserting an objective section or paragraph. Rather, a good response comes from a good resume or curriculum vita. Say it like it is... Experience is probably the most important along with the ability to show intelligence in your printed word. Good luck.

I'm not a fan of listing "Objective" at the top of the resume. It seems fairly obvious to me (as a hiring manager) that the objective of someone who has submitted a resume for a specific job is that they would like that particular job. Stating "To use my skills as an accountant in an up and coming firm with promotional opportunities" or some such phrase, just seems redundant.
If you're qualified and have adequate experience/education you'll get an interview and can explain why you're uniquely qualified for the job with your multiple sets of skills.

You should have multiple versions of your resume EACH with a seperate goal.
