on a resume... what do i put in the objective section?
461417
Be as brief as possible, but just summarise exactly what you want from your next job. What you want to achieve in terms of skills & career progression.\n\nFor example, you may say:\n\n"My current objective is to gain a challenging role in an environment which allows me to utilise my current skills whilst developing others."\n\nGood Luck.

It depends...either way is fine. Often it is better to have several different kinds of activities on your resume. It shows that you are "well rounded".

The tense depends on where it is at in the resume.\n\nAn objective section - so be future tense.\n\nYour current job should be present tense\n\nPast jobs should be past tense.

Explain what the objective is for you for the company you are applying.  That is too broad and not real your objective for the future.  You need to specify what you want to do while a part of the company.\n\n(ie:  I would like to have a chance to learn and grow as a customer relations clerk.  The experience learned here can help me get insder views of the job.  Staying with the company .... and so on.....\n\nDoes this help?

You should consider at least writing the first draft yourself.  You know yourself best.\n\nBelow are some sample resumes for your reference:\n\nhttp://www.resume-resource.com/samples.html\n\nHere are some tips:\n1. If you have less than 10 years of experience, you want your resume to be one page.\n2. Generally, clearly show your name, mailing address, email address if available, and best phone number(s) to contact you.\n3. 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). You should instead indicate what you have accomplished and the results.  Use action verbs.\n4. If you are looking for your first job or intend to change job function / industry, you may want to state your objectives.\n4. There is no one “correct” format.  It depends on your profession and personal style.\n5. Also, try not to use technical words and jargons. Do not abbreviate.\n\nYou can post your resume at:\nhttp://www.monster.com\nhttp://www.careerbuilder.com\nhttp://hotjobs.yahoo.com\n\nI would also go to your bookstore and find a resume book in the business/career section. You can also find more examples and templates online if you do a search.\n\nGood luck and have a nice day.

Well, this is a recent objective that I used in search of an information technology position:\n\nObjective:\n"An information technology or programming position that allows for the use of the skills that I have learned in an effort to do my part in advancing the company as well as developing my personal abilities."\n\nYou can alter that to suit your needs.  Maybe something like this:\n\n"A warehouse, manufacturing or delivery driver position that allows for the use of the skills that I have learned in an effort to do my part in advancing the company as well as developing my personal abilities."\n\nI have heard that it is always good to show your interest in building up the company as well as yourself.  Employers like to see that you are always looking to make yourself and your situation better.

there are many important things you can do to have your resume noticed.\nfirst of all, your resume should be presentable & organized, with no spelling or grammar mistakes. you can use a different kind of paper (not the white usual A4 size). include a cover letter that tells more in brief about your strength points and skills.\nit would help if you have people you know at the company you apply for too.

The standard resume line is now "References furnished upon request" centered at the bottom of the resume (sometimes italicized).  Don't waste precious space putting down names and contact info that you would be better filling in with your experience.\n\nHave a second sheet with three or so references if it is requested.  Then you also know that the company will probably really be checking them and you can let the references know to expect a call or letter.  Make the reference sheet on the same resume paper with the same letterhead.

The previous answer is hilarious!\n\nI think you should remember the 'obvious' things:\n\n1.  Why I'm writing to you (because I want to considered for Job X)\n2.  That I am enclosing my resume.\n3.  That I am qualified/experienced for the job becasue, as you will see from my resume, I am/have ...\n4.  List the two most important/relevant items of experience I have had\n5.  List two of the most important skills/attributes I have for a job of this kind\n6.  Say how I will be glad to present myself for interview\n7.  Er, that's it ...
