For today

OBJECTIVE STATEMENT

Written formal statements are targeted to define an objective, identifying the subject of expertise or study.  These declarations are a brief summarization of your intended communication. Use them as an introduction to your cover letter, bio, or profile.  If necessary, the statement can be broken down and used as applicable details within your resume.

Please view the following examples:

Your objective statement is a short yet effective summarization of accomplishments and work-related skill sets.  To use on a resume, it would be necessary to tailor the objective specific to the job posting. However, most companies feel as if the objective is outdated and would rather see your skill sets, accomplishments, and certifications (experience) within the resume document.

With that said, it never hurts to have an objective statement written for a profile or bio. Even a quick blurb (bragging rights) as your cover letter introduction would be a great hook to catch your readers’ attention.
