This Resume Objective Example Can SAVE Your Resume!

This Resume Objective Example Can SAVE Your Resume! // In this video you'll get examples of how to write an resume objective statement, as well as when you should NOT include an objective statement on a resume.

You'll see general resume objective examples, ranging from several different reasons why you have a resume objective section or consider having resume objective statements.

Many people put "objective statements" at the top of their resume as a formality, and it really is a waste of space. BUT there are some key situations, especially when you have an atypical/unconventional resume, where your "resume objective statement" can SAVE your resume from being rejected by recruiters.

I call this the "two second trash" where recruiters and hiring managers reject atypical candidates as soon as they see something on the resume that does not fit the cookie-cutter profile for the role they are hiring for.

I walk through examples of these rejection-preventing objective statements, as well as examples of what NOT to do.

These are resume objectives samples & resume objective examples for any job, if it makes sense for your situation! You can learn how to write the best resume objective even if you are students, freshers, or this is your first job.

Hi Madeline, what if I am a current student graduating soon looking for a role? I don't want them to think I cannot start until graduation because I would be able to work (classes are online as I am in my last semester). Would an objective statement be necessary here?

If I don't think I have irregularities in my resume, should I get rid of the objective as a whole?

Hi Madeline! Great video. I'm not authorized to work in the UK but I'm looking to relocate there because my sister lives there. Is it wise to put this in the objective statement? If so, what is the best way to word it?

Loved the video and just subscribed! I'm actually a 16 year old and do you think it's too early for me to start doing research right now on writing resumes? Also, do you have any advice on how to improve English/communication skills? I feel like all my writing have a very casual tone rather than a professional tone... :/

Hello!
I will be moving to Canada in a few months, and will start applying to jobs a month before I fly. So when I send my resume across to the recruiters, how should I mention that I have a Permanent Resident status and would be landing on XYZ date? Also, what do I write in the address section, my airbnb address? Thanks in advance.

Keywords are important .. include as many keywords as possible relevant to your background and position you are seeking.

Think about this - what keywords is the recruiter likely to search for if they are staffing for your intended position? Then put those keywords or combination of keywords into your resume, preferably at the top. . .. . ...
