how good/bad is the following resume Objective?
439028
SCRAP the "utilize my skills"part and any variation of that sentence,  EVERYONE wants to use their personal skills. That's so redundant. Show the employer how you can benefit them. You are there to make their life easier. And find cause and effect. For example if you want to work for a new software developer in launching new products,  tell them your goal is to be part of the development process through your analytical skills and experience (give a few words on what experience in particular would pertain to this position) You may have experience but how does it relate?\n\nPersonally, unless you want to WOW the employer with an objective that pertians to their particular position,  I would leave the OBJECTIVE out all together. It's wasted space to tell an employer that you want work in their industry and that you want to bring your own experience and you want to GROW withing the company in doing so. "Ahhhhh, duuuh... no kidding, who doesn't?!" So many people use objectives in their CVs and don't realise just how they waste space. The rule of thumb is, use resume templates that use sections that will benefit your person set of skills. The OBJECTIVE is a tricky thing because even if it is about what you want the employer still reads it as "how will it benefit me?"  \n\ngood luck

Yeah umm, nobody is going to just send you their resume for you to copy.  Some people pay good money for these. You should just browse the internet for a resume template, buy a bok, or resume design software.

Academics is okay for resume purpose. What really matters is your communication skills and high quality technical skills.

Explain what the objective is for you for the company you are applying.  That is too broad and not real your objective for the future.  You need to specify what you want to do while a part of the company.\n\n(ie:  I would like to have a chance to learn and grow as a customer relations clerk.  The experience learned here can help me get insder views of the job.  Staying with the company .... and so on.....\n\nDoes this help?

I prefer a strictly chronological resume. You can add the relevant skills under each temp employer, but I like to know in what capacity and where these skills were put to use. The skills are much more meaningful when you can associate them with a particular job or assignment.

If you have sent out that many resumes and have had no interviews, then yes it is your resume.  You should have at least 3 to 4 interviews for every 15 to 20 resumes that you send out.  A good place to start is understanding what the purpose of a resume is.  Knowing that your resume is to get you the interview and not the job is what you need to understand.  Working from that perspective, you only highlight the things that are vital that will set you apart from other applicants.  Your resume should come across to the employer as providing just enough information to them that they want to talk to you.(That's for the majority of folks.)  And the format is important, as well.  I feel strongly about hybrids.  Hybrids are straight and to the point.  They don't make the employer dig for pertinent information.  It's right there.  Nowadays, people want to know what you bring to the table and how teachable you are.  They're aren't too concerned with where or how long you have been somewhere.  If you need more info. on how to word your resume, just email me.  I'll send you a link.

Start with a summary (in point form) of what you have accomplished. Then followed by your detailed work experience. Each one should have a strong emphasis of what exactly you have done in that job which stood out. Lastly write about your education/studies (degree) which should mention about your major and thesis. Also include other personal developments (workshop, seminars, etc.) as well. Eventually, you can always add more later to 'spice' it up. Remember, a good resume is never perfect and finalized; you will always need to update it occasionally. G'luck.

If you are lacking in other experience, it can be beneficial.\n\nIt is especially beneficial that you have such high positive feedback and have made over 400 transactions.\n\nBy the way- make sure when you do create your resume that you keep it at one page.  Some employers may accept up to two pages, but unless you have some amazing credentials that NEED to be on there, it is advised that you stick to one.\n\nI hope this is helpful and good luck on your job search!

It will be useful if you are good at it.\nWhen you are good, you don't have to look for job, but job will look for you.

You should try googling "writing CV" - I just did it, and found several good possibilities on the first page of hits.  I've included a few of the links I found.

Obviously, it's going to vary from employer to employer. Here are some of the things that I look for: \n* Is it well organized, consistently formatted, and free of typographical errors? If it isn't, the candidate lacks the skills, organization, and attention to detail we require. \n* Is it credible? Suffice it to say that some of the claims made on resumes compare to curing AIDS and negotiating world peace, all over a three-day weekend. \n* Does it demonstrate initiative and common sense? Will the new employee be able to work things out on his/her own, or will s/he require detailed supervision? \n* Is the objectives statement, if provided, relevant to the job opportunity we have? Does the objectives statement appear to be well considered and authentic? \n* Is the experience and education shown relevant to the job? \n* Does the cover letter reflect an understanding of our company and what makes us unique? \n\nIf I see a recent grad's resume that meets these criteria, I will be most interested in interviewing them. \n\nGood luck,\nRex

Well, first of all, I would say "in the field of insurance" not "on the field..."  If it's any comfort, I don't think that resume objectives are supposed to make a whole lot of sense, and I think yours is about as sensical as they come.  You might want to consider adding something about what *you* can contribute to the company.  Do you have any previous experience?  If not, I'd just stick to what you have.  Resumes are a pain to write but it sounds like you're doing better than you think.\n\nAlso, to the person who answered your question by calling you an idiot: Don't be so bloody rude.  This person is asking a good, valid question and "idiot" is all you can come up with?  Go fling sand on the playground and keep your nasty answers out of Yahoo!
