A job objective or a resume objective is used to communicate the applicant’s intentions to a prospective employer. It usually works as an introductory line, outlining why an applicant has written the resume in the first place. It also works as an ice breaker, making the employer get to know the applicant enough to interest him to further the liaison.
Job objectives need to be written in a manner that they communicate clearly the writer’s skills and qualifications for the job, and how well he fits in. The objective is actually the crux of a resume – it summarizes everything that an individual wants to contribute to an organization, and how he can do it flawlessly.
The problem with job objectives is that they are short – usually a maximum of 3 lines. It is quite difficult to write all that you want to when you have such limitations. But since that is all you get, you have to make do with it. A resume objective should never be vague – you need to write it clearly, charting out exactly what it is that you want to say. A clear job / resume objective may actually end up in the employer not bothering to read the rest of the resume, and deciding to hire you on the spot.
