Also, I think it doesn't hurt to get a little creative--why write the standard "Seeking entry-level position..." when you can write something like, "Enthusiastic, goal-oriented public relations specialist who can utilize strong writing skills, analytical thinking, and a personable attitude to enhance the work of [Company x]. Something like this would definitely catch the eye of the HR Manager and set you apart from the rest of the crowd. I definitely struggled with my resume and objective when I was job-seeking...I had some close friends help me out with my formatting, and I also used www.razume.com. Razume was helpful because I got feedback from objective, well-versed people. I guess the feedback worked, because now I've got some interviews lined up!

Tell them how and why you are a benefit in your objective- they'll remember you for it.

Other notable point is short nicely briefed releveant past experience.

For example: <b>"To help ABC Shoes gain more loyal customers and increase profits by providing exceptional service and becoming your best salesman."</b> Nice topic, nice blog! :-) How about an Objective that addresses the employer’s needs instead of the applicant’s?

For example:

“To help ABC Shoes gain more loyal customers and increase profits by providing exceptional service and becoming your best salesman.”

Nice topic, nice blog! :-)

One way to do that is with your objective statement. Tailoring your resume for each possible company or position that you’re applying for will give you a much greater possibility of success.

Back when I first started doing my resume, I just left off the objective. I figured it would differ from job to job and I just included it in a custom cover letter. I really need to re-think this.
