DO I NEED AN OBJECTIVE? 

    BRNY Home

I need to do my resume, but I am not sure what kind of job I want. Can you help me with my objective? Do I need one? My friend who used to be my supervisor in my old job told me that I don't. Is she right? There are many opinions on the subject. However, it is better to be safe than sorry. Either use the same resume with different objectives on each to show career focus. Or, indicate that you are seeking a position in a certain area, followed by "titles of interest include project manager, field service technician, and crew supervisor". See how to use a resume title instead of an objective. View our portfolio of resume samples. 

Unclear objective
Many job seekers choose to leave off an objective to avoid limiting themselves to one position. By leaving the decision to an employer, your resume might get tossed. Remember, listing your objective is the courteous thing to do. It saves a hiring manager a lot of time by taking the guesswork out of deciding what you want to do.
Mention what you can do for an employer, not what the employer can do for you.
Don't write: "Seeking a position utilizing my experience, skills, and education offering career growth potential."
Do write: "Seeking a position in sales or customer service where five years of related experience in pharmaceutical and manufacturing industries will be of value."
