WRITING
YOUR OBJECTIVE
Be very clear
in defining the name of the job or job title you are so qualified
for. Be specific. Avoid general terms such as: I am seeking
a Management position. Well, OK, but what kind of Management
position are you seeking? Marketers signal in on one product
at a time and so will you!
You will hit the
bull’s eye when you define your precise career direction
and put that down on paper. When your prospective employer
reads it, they should have no doubt that you are seeking
the exact job that they need filled.
After starting
your resume with your contact information, your next section
will clearly start with your job objective. Once your prospective
employer can see that what you bring to the table is what
they want, they will continue to scan for more.
Employers separate
the wheat from the chaff very quickly. They look for objectives
that meet with their own expectations. They know there are
many prospects out there that really don’t know what they
want.
Employers are
not looking for these types. Your objective will
convey that your objective proves you will make the kind
of contributions to the company that they need and want.
Keep in mind,
too, that an employer is looking for a candidate who will
meet their own needs, and not for one who is looking to meet
his or her own goals and agenda.
Your goal can
be to offer this company your unique skill set and experience,
but, the key is in putting that across in a way that proves
you are their to service them and not the other way around.
Your resume must
grab them within the first few seconds, so, your objective
must be dynamite! Clearly state the job title you are going
for and then add a few key phrases to show you will meet
their exact needs...more on this later.
