Hints on Writing Resume Objectives That Work
"To manage people, interface with customers, and work with highly technical software or hardware applications." Ms. Hansen says she likes how this objective states specific skills that could be used in a number of different jobs. One other thought ... if you're really committed to using a job objective, but you don't want it on your resume, you could include it in your cover letter. OK, here are a couple great resume objective examples from the book, Same Day Resume: "Professional alignment with the Animal Foundation in a position that will benefit from my marketing skills, community and educational contacts, and commitment to wildlife conservation and education." "Seeking position requiring excellent business management skills in an office environment. Position should require a variety of tasks, including office management, word processing, and spreadsheet and database program use." And these resume objective examples are from Monster.com: "Program Development, Coordination, and Administration ... especially in a people-oriented organization where there is a need to assure broad cooperative effort through the use of sound planning, strong administration, skills of persuasion to achieve goals." "A middle/upper-level management position with responsibilities including problem solving, planning, organizing, and managing budgets." "To obtain a position as an Elementary School Teacher in which a strong dedication to the total development of children and a high degree of enthusiasm can be fully utilized." "Position as a Word Processing Secretary that will utilize my computer knowledge, strong people skills, organizational abilities, and business experience." Even more effective than a resume objective is a power statement or summary of qualifications.
