What is your objective?
What does a Resume objective do for you?
Does it just take up space?
Well, maybe like any answer, that depends!
If you are applying for an internship and/or are relatively junior in the career process, then a brief one sentence goal statement that is direct and to the point may be your best bet.If, however, you have experience and a strong skill set, then you may want to consider utilizing a Professional Summary. This is a direct and to the point paragraph highlighting you goals, values, skills and focus areas for your future job.
Take note: Some hiring managers love the simplicity of the one line objective while others absolutely reject the boring, template format. If you must use one sentence, please make is worthwhile! Think of your audience, catch their attention.
In short, make your resume worth the read. More on skills, values, interests coming...and thoughts on how they can and should impact your career journey. Stay tuned for ongoing resume tips. Kate
