How should I write about "My Career Objective" in my resume?  I just want to have a stable life, having a job,
102616
Your Objective should be short, sweet & to the point. Get rid of those phrases like "a challenging position that will utilize my _____ skills"\n\nUse the job title as your objective. It may not be your long term objective, but it certainly is the short term objective. I modify my resume for every job I apply for - so it is no trouble to change the objective also. If you are using a more generic resume, then have a more generic objective....but still a job title. Possibilities include: Certified Accountant, Accounts Payable Specialist, Controller, Payment Auditor, Billing & Eligibility Specialist, Contract Administrator, etc

http://career.berkeley.edu/Grad/GradStatement.stm\nhttp://www.cs.rpi.edu/~whuang/other/purposeadvice.html\nhttp://www.statementofpurpose.com/ \n\nThese are some of the sites that I am using right now for hints and advice to write an effective statement of purpose. I have a couple of things to say about your SOP. Don't write very big sentences. And you also have a few grammatical mistakes, \n\nFor example, instead of\n\nAs I have been brought up in a family which has strong inclinations towards development.\n\nI have been brought up in a family that has...\n\nMy father is a K.S (AVOID SHORT FORMS, WRITE WHAT K.S. STANDS FOR) officer WHO works for the development of rural areas.(BREAK SENTENCE) My mother, a teacher and social worker, HAS DEDICATED HER LIFE TO HELPING LESS FORTUNATE CHILDREN.\n\nI am not trying to discourage you - only trying to help. Review these sites, and make changes. Then email me your essay (scorpiodotcom@yahoo.com) as a Microsoft Word attachment. I will give you a detailed critique.

Below are some sample resumes for your reference:\n\nhttp://www.resume-resource.com/samples.html\n\nHere are some tips:\n1.

Then show your education, work experience, any interests, achievements, and skill sets. Under your work experience, it is not a list of your job descriptions (this is a common mistake).

Write about your achievements in a CV\n\nSuccessfully applying for a job means showing your employer that you are mores suitable than the other candidates. Job application numbers for a particular vacancy vary from tens to hundreds. You will usually need to be short-listed among the first twenty in order be offered an interview. Only CVs that have impressed the employer will make it to this stage.\n\nWhen recruiting people, employers reduce the CV list to around forty to fifty candidates. The difference between the chosen candidates and the others is a well presented CV and cover letter.\n\nWhat did they do differently?\n\nThe way they presented their achievements. In this tutorial we will explain how you can word your achievements in a more suitable manner. Employers are attracted to achievements because they want the applicant to repeat them in their own business.\n\nfrom http://www.cvtips.com/achievements_in_your_CV.html

It is a letter you include with your job application and resume, highlighting some of your best points in terms of being qualified for the job.  It should be clear and easy to read, and never longer than one page.  It should be done on good quality paper.  In the letter you have to sell yourself.  It may be what gets you to the interview stage, so be meticulous with it.  It should be written with the specific job and employer in mind.  Remember that the person who reads your letter may read dozens of other letters for the same job so try to make yours stand out.\n\nThese sites should help you.  Best of luck with it.

I would say:\n\nIn addition to my current capabilities and experience,  I'm interested in doing ---------(name specialty) \n\nAs a go-gether I am prepared to research what it takes to be -------(name specialty)  and with the approval of my manager I will apply myself to it.    \n\nI believe that employees with multiple skills can be an asset  to -------------(bankname), and I would like to advantage of that for future open positions.\n\n(the last paragraph is tricky, you will have to sincerely say that you wish to work in 'this' area right now, but you would like to be prepared for another anyway)\n\nGood luck - I hope you get the job.

Try to keep it to one page, two maximum.  Include the names of all your employers and the date(s) you worked and a brief description of your job duties.  Use either white or off-white paper also (don't use colored paper like green, yellow, etc.).  Put your name, address, phone number and e-mail address at the top center of the resume.  If you do any community service work, include that on your resume also. No need to put your references.  Future employers will ask you for that information if they are interested in hiring you.  Good luck with the job search.

Depends how much effort you put into it. Does your resume say that you are looking for a specific job or is it vague and leaves the decision up to the employer to figure out what you want to do. An objective of finding an interesting job goes into the waste basket. An objective of finding a sales job where I can utilize my strong interpersonal skills gets kicked over to the sales dept. Are you only looking at ads or are you taking out the yellow pages and calling companies in your field and asking if you can fax over a resume and to who's attention. Only 10% of all jobs get advertised. Have you told everyone you know you are looking? 70% of people get their jobs through someone they know.

SCRAP the "utilize my skills"part and any variation of that sentence,  EVERYONE wants to use their personal skills. That's so redundant. Show the employer how you can benefit them. You are there to make their life easier. And find cause and effect. For example if you want to work for a new software developer in launching new products,  tell them your goal is to be part of the development process through your analytical skills and experience (give a few words on what experience in particular would pertain to this position) You may have experience but how does it relate?\n\nPersonally, unless you want to WOW the employer with an objective that pertians to their particular position,  I would leave the OBJECTIVE out all together. It's wasted space to tell an employer that you want work in their industry and that you want to bring your own experience and you want to GROW withing the company in doing so. "Ahhhhh, duuuh... no kidding, who doesn't?!" So many people use objectives in their CVs and don't realise just how they waste space. The rule of thumb is, use resume templates that use sections that will benefit your person set of skills. The OBJECTIVE is a tricky thing because even if it is about what you want the employer still reads it as "how will it benefit me?"  \n\ngood luck
