    The objective is better stated in your cover letter. And remember -- the objective is to say briefly how you will not only help the company make money but also help the company save money.

    To that end, your resume should begin by listing your accomplishments -- specific with verifiable facts and figures. After that will be a section noting skills. Follow that with either a functional listing of work done or a chronological listing of jobs and responsibilities.

    Do this on one page.

    Do you want a sample to look at?
