How to write your Resume

The objective

Is a purely optional part of the resume. Is there an objective for you? Here are some things to consider:

If you know exactly what kind of work scenario you want to work in, then you want to communicate that in your objective.

Title of this section

What do you want to call this section of your resume?

Important information

An objective serves two purposes:

First, an objective tells an employer what position you are seeking

Second, it indicates whether or not you are clear about what opportunities are available with a particular employer.

Tips:

If you don’t know about what position you are seeking, it may be preferable to omit the objective.
Write an objective which provides useful information about you, and demonstrates that you know what they are looking for.


An objective can contain up to four parts. An objective does not have to contain all four parts; just include as many parts as you know.

First is the "level" of the position.

If you know what level of position you are seeking, select one of the next terms:

Part two is the skills you expect to use in that position.

Refer to the list of action verbs to help you identify what skills you like and/or have experience using. For example, you may be seeking.

"A position in , software design, development and support".

For some individuals, the skills are the only piece of the objective they know. An objective including only the skills you want to use is respectable because it still conveys information which the employer will want.

Part three is the position function, also sometimes called position title.

Position function

For those with broad skill sets, many position titles may apply. Find out what a specific employer calls this function within their organization during your informational interview or from an acquaintance who works in that field. You may also choose to invent a title that is broad enough to encompass your unique vision.

Finally, part four is the field or industry, in which you hope to work. Examples of fields or industries include:

Field or industry

Your particular position may well be found in a variety of fields or industries. For example, industrial designers work in all of the above industries. If your career vision is not field or industry specific, you may wish to omit this part of the objective.

Integrating all four parts into a cohesive whole is easy. The following objective contains all four parts. See if you can identify them.

"A designing position in the industry, utilizing my ability to work as a team member and contribute to planning, marketing, support, design and testing of products and services."
