[Jobs] Objective on Resume

[Dick Davis]

Bonnie,
If you do want to put an objective at the beginning of your resume,
particularize it to the position in question and the needs of the particular
employer.  It shows you did your homework.  The most important thing is to
answer the question, "Why should you hire me?" at the beginning of the
resume.  A resume is sales literature for you, not a job history.

I read far to many resumes and what I wish I saw more of are resumes
that describe real and measurable accomplishments.
I worked at this office and improved the average time for receiving
incoming calls by twenty percent.  I developed a new filing system which
has become the company standard.  
You get the picture.  Tell me what you have done and can do.

Hi all,

I'm creating a new resume and was wondering what some of you who are
working in clerical positions put in the "objective" block of your
resumes.  The resume I currently have was done by a former Federal
employee, and since it was created for Government use, that information
wasn't necessary.  Also, for those of you who work in the Federal
Government, I was using Form OF-612 which you all know is long and
tedious.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

Bonnie
