Objective or No Objective…
How to do a resume is the question at hand…
Do you use an objective or or not when you are writing your resume?
I have had to deal with this on many occasions. Sometimes from the how to write a resume end and sometimes from the how do I read into this resume end.
It really depends on who you talk to.
For my entire life I had always put an objective…
When I was reviewing resumes I would rarely read the objective…
The only time I would read it was when it jumped out at me in the negative…
I know that sounds strange but it’s true.
So, back to the question, Objective or not?
Now that I know what I know I would not put an objective in my resume. The hiring manager knows what you are applying for and it would be a turn off if you wrote your objective and it didn’t fit the position or was a generalization.
If I were going to help someone learn how to write a resume I would tell them to exclude the objective and use that space more productive. Use it as a summary or an area to place your skills.
Think about it as if you were a sales person.
Would you try and sell a person any car on the lot just because you were taking a stab or would you try and sell them what they wanted. I think it needs to be laser targeted and the objective just adds fluff.
That’s just me…
Good luck, I will be back to talk about your experience when you are learning how to make a resume.
Later.
