| Objective |
Give much thought to writing your Objective, but remember you can
change it for each job. Create one or two lines worth.
If the employer is turned off by
the objective, he/she won’t read the rest.
Objective should be two or three lines and have parts:
 | Very specific as to the type of position you want and the industry |
| Using specific keywords explain why you are qualified for that position or
know this is the type of work you want to do |
For example a "Junior accountant position that utilizes my college
courses in computers and job experience using Excel and Word."
Or another example "A teaching position that utilizes
my early education college courses and the summer camp and babysitting
experience.
A challenging position with a growing company is too vague.
It is
wastes everyone's time - employers want to know what you want to do.
Don't start objective with "To obtain a". Just
name the type of work you want to do.
Mention bilingual, computer skills and other special skills in the
objective.
You never get a second change to make a good first
impression and your objective will make your first impression! |
