…why i don’t like ‘objective’ on your resume


11/09/2009

…employers and hiring authorities don’t care what your objective is…they don’t care about what your goals or objectives are…they don’t care what you want….

they care about what they want

so, most objectives describe what the candidate wants…they are usually written with global language that means nothing..they don’t get read by a hiring authority and if they do, most of the time, it will eliminate the candidate..

your resume should explain what you have done, who you have done it for and how successful you have been…it should say…”i have done a great job for my employers in the past,so i will do a great job for you”

what you want should have nothing to do with your resume

go look at the objectives on most resumes…you’ll see what i mean…

I disagree with this statement to a certain degree. Yes, if the objective or goal stated is oriented to what the candidate wants, then you are correct, I have seen alot of these. However, if you indicated goal is sincere, speaks to your true self, and is inline with what the company is looking for in an employee, especially in a company where the right personality and a person’s integrity helps mold the company and is important to the company’s reputation.
