Building Your Resume - Part 2
By BlackFrederick.com Career Place Editor Saundra Harvey
Published July 01, 2008
Employment Objective
Employment Objective is often times either forgotten or omitted from a resume. This is your
opportunity to tell a potential employer exactly what skills you have and how you would like to see
your skills best utilized. This brief statement (noticed that I said “brief” statement) describes the
type of job or occupational area you are seeking. Focus on the skills you can bring to a job. For
example, “seeking a position in which I can utilize my communication, sales and computer
programming skills.” Also, incorporate as many key words from the job description as possible
into your objective as well as throughout your resume. This will increase your changes of having
your resume “pop up” when the Human Resources staff, Recruiter or in many cases, the computer
searches for potential applicants to fill a vacant position.
If you are following this series or seeing it for the first time and would like a recap of any missed
segments, please feel free to contact me at Saundra@blackfrederick.com. If you have a resume
that you would like for me to review, please do not hesitate to forward it. Keep in mind that I will
only give you my professional advice on what you could do to enhance your resume.
