[Jobs] Objective on Resume

[Sherry Gomes]

even in the private sector I have several different resumes, depending on
what kind of position it is.  They emphasis different skills, in terms of
how I phrase things.  It's all the same work experience, but depending on
the type of job I bring out different skills in a more emphatic way.

Yes, you do need a separate one for federal jobs.  In fact, they often scan
them based on key words, so for any federal positions you are interested in,
you'll be better off if you tailor it to the specific position.  The format
for federal resumes is very different from that for those in other sectors.

Okay, so what I really need are two versions.  When applying for a job with
the US Forest Service in particular, they basically do want your job history
if you're applying for a job using a resume.  This is good to know, it's
almost as though I need two resumes, one for Federal employment and another
for state/private employers.

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
