Here's an example of an objective to include in a résumé:OBJECTIVE: To contribute to the success of Acme Data Management by applying the skills I have learned in information technology and use my interpersonal skills to expand the client base
What are some strengths and weaknesses of this objective?
The objective doesn't specify the position being applied for. Therefore, the employer cannot be sure this is the right person to fill a particular job opening. However, the objective does state two types of skills–information technology experience and interpersonal skills–that can be assets to the organization. It describes what the applicant can do for the company, not just what the applicant wants to do. Overall, this objective is positive and convincing about the professionalism of the potential employee.
