[Jobs] Objective on Resume

[Judith Bron]

I think you are getting it Bonnie.  A bureaucracy is interested in dates and
times and what you did during that time.  A private employer wants to know
how you will fulfill a particular mission.  The other poster was right, put
your reasons for wanting and the talents you have for fulfilling that
position.  Good luck, Judith
