Do you know how many times we’ve received a resume with an objective that doesn’t match the type of job for which a candidate applying? A LOT!
So, we recommend you scrap the “Objective” portion of your resume altogether.
We find that the objective tends to weed candidates OUT instead of IN.
For instance, if you apply to our “Outside Sales Rep” position and your objective reads, “Qualified Inside Sales representative looking to grow with an Outdoor Industry Organization” this would automatically disqualify you from a position you actually might have the skills to do.
We suggest you skip the objective and instead properly compose your cover letter to explain why our particular job is right for you.
