A good Resume Objective is like the perfect movie trailer. It is a concise, enthusiastic, creatively constructed piece of writing that leaps out and steals the readers attention placing you firmly in his mind and pre-selling him, convincing him you are the person he wants to hire.

The biggest trap I see people falling into is that they don't take the time to write a good objective they use old overused phrases like:

"To secure a position where I can best utilize my experience in High Education and gain additional knowledge to develop my career potential in the Bookkeeping position"

"To develop a career with a company that can utilize my current skills, and enhance my experience."

Now be honest, did these objectives leap out at you ? Did these resume objectives capture your attention? Did they compel you to read further? Probably not.

As the reader, I don't feel that they address my interests or my concerns at all. They are all about what the applicant wants and in both examples above I get the idea that the applicant wants me to offer them a paid training environment. Now to a certain extent employers are not interested in what you want, they are looking at your resume to see if you are the person that will fill their needs!

So the rules are:

1. Write your objective from the viewpoint of the Employer

2. Make it pop and sizzle

3. Keep it short 30 to 35 words.

4. Steal their attention so that they read the rest of the resume.

5. Think of the resume Objective as a summary that gives the employer a quick look at the important stuff. Don't use clich's.

Do those things and you will get calls and interviews.
