Writing Your Resume Objective:
Your resume object is the first thing on your resume, below your
contact information. It is the statement, which can make or break your resume’s
ability to help you acquire a phone or personal interview. Your goal within your
resume objective should be to show an interest in long term employment with a
company, but it must not be too specific. Basically, a resume objective informs the
reader of the position you are seeking as well as one or two major details about
the position you are seeking. For example, engineers are part of nearly any
manufacturing environment, so an objective for an engineer, would identify his
field and job market such as:
“Electrical Controls Engineer position for
bioprocess or pharmaceutical manufacturing.”
Notice how this objective serves 2 purposes: 1.) It identifies
the engineer’s job market. 2.) It utilizes industry keywords, which may be searched
for in a job search engine.
The basic rule for writing your resume objective is to tailor it
according to your needs. If you are posting a general resume to a job board, you
may not want to be too specific. If you are applying for a specific position at a
particular company, then you may want to tailor your resume objective to fit that
position’s job description.
