Questions from our Readers
Answered by Michael Pollock
"I see some resume's with objectives, what is your take on including them or not in a resume? thank you so much for your help."
A brief opening statement on your resume is most important but please do not frame it in terms of your objectives. The hirer is not interested in your objectives nearly as much as he is interested in his own. Your resume must persuade him that you are the perfect solution to his problem, not so much that he is the solution to yours.
Express in two or three sentences how you are exactly the right person to fill his position, and let him know of the unique value you will bring to his company. If your opening salvo hits the nail on the head, he will be enticed to read on to the supporting evidence.
But remember, he is not approaching your resume with an interest in meeting your objectives he is completely focused on his own.
