[Jobs] Objective on Resume

[Bonnie Ainsworth]

Actually, I have over 18 years of job experience.  I took most of my duties 
off of my old OF-612 form, and a resume that was created for me almost 3 
years ago.  Needless to say that I am aware that some improvements can be 
made.

Hi.  Mike, you keep making the comments that you would like to read more 
real and measurable accomplishments from people.  I am
wondering if, perhaps, you could give some real examples of what you are 
looking for.  This would, perhaps, be more helpful to
people.  I think many people go to work and do their jobs but never actually 
realize that what they do is one, measurable, and
two, an accomplishment at all.  Then, once they do realize those two facts, 
it can be as hard as the very devil to put it into
words, much less put it on paper in some meaningful fashion.  So, perhaps, 
since you are in a position to read multiple resumes,
you could take some of those statements and put them in what would be a more 
preferred and meaningful way which would then be more
helpful to others on this list when they are writing their resumes.  The 
person who began this thread by asking the question
would, likely, have gotten a better idea of what she could write from such 
examples than to be told to make it "real and
measurable," too, especially if she has no prior job experience.
I hope that makes sense.
