I agree with the Objective or Career Aspiration part not being necessary. However, with a younger person without a lot of job experiences, I think that it helps to include it so that it shows that the job applicant has done some thought as to a definite direction he or she wants to take with their career.

With an older person, who has a lot of job experience over many years, their resume usually it what will show the direction that they want to take and have taken.

Thanks!

For my objective I got this... Objective: Seeking a career position with a Company, where professional experience, education and abilities would be an advantage to the growth of my employer and myself. Is that good or should I change it around a little?

Hi, payasa14!

I think that you should personalize it and re-word it a little bit more.

I'll show you what I mean in a couple of minutes. I need to work on it.

Thanks!

Career Objective (or, it could be titled, Career Aspiration.)
To find a position with a company that best utilizes my professional experience, education, skills and abilities to the best they can be in order to enable a company to achieve the goals that they have.

Something like that, anyway. It's more personal and concise. Although, I'm sure that Wondergirl could make some improvements to it.

Thanks!

Okay, should I keep the professional experience part since I really don't have much experience in office work? Ok and next I...

Please let me work on that a minute or two.

Thanks!

By the way, your Professional Experience, is going to be the heart (bulk) of your resume. At least, that's the way that it's been with mine.

Thanks!

[Clough]

Okay, first thing. Where and in what way have you used Microsoft Word, Microsoft Works, and Microsoft Excel, please?

Was this in relation to a job that you had?

Thanks!

[payasa14]

Oh no I had computer app classes when I was in high school and we used these everyday.

I totally disagree. The cover letter can incorporate the objective very nicely.

[Clough]

Did you get a good grade in that class?

I would not include it. It says absolutely nothing.

The objective just gives a little detail and then in the cover letter wouldn't I write more on that? Like what I'm trying to say in better words? So don't put it on there at all?

[Clough]

Probably so. However, I still think that with a younger person, relatively inexperienced in going for jobs and having interviews, it helps to "round-out", so to speak, a shorter resume and thus make it appear more full and complete.

My resume is two pages in length and I'm having to shorten and make it more concise all the time. It really shows what my career object has been. So, there's no need for it to be on the resume.

Thanks!

No company cares about what you want to achieve for yourself. All they want to know is how you can make them money or save them money. Most Objectives are worthless.

Only include it if it is tailored specifically for a particular job opening.

[Clough]

An A.

That's good! In incorporating it as far as a "Related Experience" section should work out very nicely!

Thanks!

[Clough]

...... Most Objectives are worthless.

But then, some aren't worthless.

Thanks!

I think I will disappear and read a book. You two have fun pulling all this together.

So where do I put my jobs and education at? Does it matter in what order there in?
