Resume Objective: Entry Level Accounting

As you probably know, a resume objective is an important part of your resume. It is an introduction to potential employers about who you are and what you have to offer their company. The objective is especially important if you’re looking for an entry level job to jump start your career in a particular field.

Think of your resume objective as a resume headline, as I talked about in the article, Accounting – For Your Entry Level Resume Objective. The goal of your objective is to catch an employer’s eyes with the hope that he or she will look over your entire resume. Remember, a resume headline can include information such as your education and skills. So, if you’re looking for an entry level job in accounting, for example, you may include the following:
– A general or specific job title in your field (Ex.- entry level CPA)
– Other qualifications you want to make known such as computer skills, years of experience, internships, etc.
Also, consider using action verbs to clearly describe any experience you’ve had in accounting. This will tell an employer exactly what you can do to benefit their business. By clicking on the link below, you can find several action verbs to choose from; some include: develop, manage, produce, and reorganize.
Here is an example of a resume objective with an action verb for an entry level job in accounting:
“Seek an entry level accounting job to prepare and adjust financial information for a firm”
Keep in mind that your objective should be brief, yet clearly expressed.
Overall, a good resume objective says something about who you are and what you have to offer. It’s the impression you make to a potential employer on a resume. Let it be a reflection of the potential benefits you can bring to a particular job.
