    Simple. Just write down what you want to accomplish in your career.

    I've helped people with resumes since 1985. The current thinking is to NOT include a Career Objectives section on a resume. It usually is boring and does nothing to "sell" the job seeker to the person looking at the resumes. It usually speaks of what the job seeker is hoping to achieve and find and accomplish and says little or nothing about the job or the company.

    All a company wants is employees who save it money and who help it make money. If the job seeker can say in the Objectives how he will do that, then maybe include it. Now the thinking is to add a Skills section and an Accomplishments section in the top third of the resume. These two sections will tell how the job seeker will make and save money for the company. THAT'S ALL THE COMPANY CARES ABOUT.

    I agree that including Career Objectives in a resume is not a great idea; however, based on the line "provide min 10-30 lines" it sounds like you're filling out a job application form so it looks like you're going to have to put something down. I'd indicate briefly how you would use your skills/experience to contribute to the company's bottom line: "use my X skills to help Company Y accomplish Z."

    If they're asking for this on a form and you don't put something down, you need to be prepared to address questions about career objectives if you get to the interview stage.
