Writing Objective Statements

It may seem hard to write an effective objective statement for your resume. Here are some ways to help entry level job candidates and others successfully compose their own resume objective.

What is an Objective Statement?

Generally speaking, an objective statement gives an employer insight into a potential employee. It talks about your goals, your expectations of the job, and/or what benefit you are to an employer.

Why Write an Objective Statement?

An objective statement can enhance your resume by defining your status in the workforce, highlighting your best qualifications for the job you want, and informing employers of the entry level job of interest and your career goals.

Drafting Your Objective Statement

Consider answering these questions before writing or editing your objective statement:

Do you have any career goals?
What are your most important qualifications (strengths, skills, experience)?
What job are you looking for?
What kind of company do you desire to work for?
