Wait! Before I do that, I want to take the time to clearly define exactly what the purpose of the resume objective statement is professional nursing resume writers. I'll also show you the biggest mistake people make in writing their objective.

So, what is a resume objective statement?

First, let me tell you what it isn't. The resume objective is not the place for you to write about your own desires. I know that is what the vast majority of people write for their objective. I am sure you have seen it too.

Let me give you a couple of examples of what I am talking about.

Obtain a challenging customer service position at a progressive company where I can advance to more rewarding positions.

PC support technician for a small company.

Okay. Those are examples of what you don't want to do.

This is why you do not want to write like that in your resume objective.

Purpose of the Resume Objective Statement

The objective statement is your chance to tell your potential employer how your goals align with theirs. Sure you can use it to give them an idea of what your own goals are but you want to keep the focus on them.
