How to Write a Resume Objective

When crafting a resume, a job objective is definitely an important part of the document. For first timers, it is easy since they don't have much experience and are limited in the scope of what they propose. But what about a seasoned worker who has much more going for him/her? Since the job objective is near the top of the page, it is one of the first things that will be seen by the human resources person skimming the resume for those key words.

So, how do you go about writing a great job objective? The first thing to do is take stock of yourself and your experience. Do you have adequate experience and training in your field? What are your strengths and weaknesses? Make sure that you are dealing from a position of strength here as weaknesses should be left out since they can be worked on later.

List all things that you consider to be a strength on a scrap piece of paper. Now peruse the job advertisement, looking for keywords in both the education and experience requirement. How many of them match? You will probably have at least a half dozen similar ideas and concepts between your paper and the job posting.

Now, write a short paragraph (not a 1 - 2 sentence statement) that describes your career. This job objective now becomes a career goal and employers can see that you are a successful person who will benefit them. Be sure to sprinkle in two or three words from the posting to laser target your resume to the company's opening. This will definitely get you noticed and well on your way to that personal interview. That's it, good luck!
