What is a Resume Objective?

A resume objective is a statement of your goals for employment, typically listed at the top of your resume. A resume objective is typically one or two sentences long.

The most effective objective is one that is tailored to the job you are applying for. It states what kind of career you are seeking, and what skills and experiences you have that make you ideal for that career.

A resume objective might also include where you have been, and where you want to go in your career.

 

For example, it might state some of your past accomplishments, and then move on to the kinds of accomplishments you hope to achieve in the future (ideally, accomplishments you want to achieve for the company you are applying to work for).
