Your Resume-Create An Objective

We continue our series on resumes and what you can do to demystify the myths and create a document that showcases what you do clearly and professionally.

An objective. Do you need one in your resume or can you keep it out?

An objective creates a purpose for your resume. An objective sets the tone, and what the reader will be learning about you. An objective helps you write a focused document, and it helps the reader understand where your resume is going and how your skills can be helpful for the organization and the position you are applying for.

The Weekly Action Challenge

Your challenge this week is to create, or update, the objective on your resume. Ask yourself what you want potential employers to know about you right away. Do you want them to know about the number of year’s experience you have? That, you are results oriented? Or, that you are passionate and driven?

They say you don’t get a second chance to make a good first impression. Your objective is your opportunity to capture the reader’s attention and give them a glance at the type of person you are, what makes you unique, and what you bring to the table.

So what do you say, you only have one life to live so it might as well be a life you love!
