Steps to Creating Your Resume

Home Intro to Resume Creating a Resume Resume Sample Resume Problems Cover Letters Posting Your Resume


Step 1: Choose a Job Objective
(Functional Resume)

A job objective is usually a one or two line statement indicating the specific job you are seeking. Once you have created your objective you can target your resume to prove you have the skills, experience or education to do the job. If you have several objectives, you may need to create separate resumes for each one. Remember to focus on what you can do for the employer.

Objectives that employers do not want to see!

  • Looking for a job that is flexible to my school schedule where I learn new skills.
  • Seeking a rewarding position in business administration.
  • Position to use my experience, skills, and allow me to grow and develop while making a contribution.
These objectives are too vague and do not tell the employer what type of job you are seeking.
