objective sentence

Mon, 06/08/2009 - 8:43pm — perth15

When I was in college, I took a business writing class that shows students how to do resumes, cover letters, etc. As the resume topic came up, the professor said your resume will get noticed more with an objective sentence. For me, that one sentence takes up too much space & is redundant, since I will state exactly what I am applying for in my cover letter.

On the other hand, I think what happens if the editor or HR person misplaces my cover letter by mistake. The editor will only have my resume & won’t know the position I am applying for.

Do editors appreciate a resume with an objective sentence or find it a nuisance? Thank you for reading.

Perth, although your professor was absolutely right, but this is just a matter of perfection, it does’nt mean that your resume wont be noticed. it would still receive the importance you desire.

I don’t use objective

I don’t use objective lines in my resume, but I actually had the executive editor of a high-circ regional mag tell me that he thinks it’s “ridiculous” that people don’t take the time to add them to their resumes. He’s probably a little antiquated, but apparently a few people in the editing world still think they’re necessary. When he critiqued my resume, he told me to add one for each job I apply to, creating a new resume file for each.

I think it’s a waste of space. Presumably your objective in sending me a resume is to get the job that I’m offering; I don’t need to be told that. And in some cases, I think it can work against you if it’s more general: when I read that someone is looking for a job in “media, fashion, or public relations,” it often goes to the second pile, behind those people who say they’re really committed to working in editorial.

i recently had a meeting with a senior level consultant at our company regarding resume stuff and he said that objective sentences might only be useful in some instances for people coming right out of college.

personally, i’m applying for lots of different type positions and i write new cover letters for each one so i think an objective sentence would be redundant.

Being that most things are

Being that most things are digital these days, I feel like it would be difficult to misplace a cover letter and only have the resume. And even then, by your experience listed they’d probably know what job you were at least qualified for.

Regardless, word on the street is objective lines are totally unnecessary and junior-looking. I have to agree - your objective is to get the job you applied for in media, or at least get any job. They take up valuable space where you could be listing your experience.

Also, I’ve heard that sometimes HR reps only make it to the top of your resume. You aren’t going to be memorable if the first thing you list is “I want to be a magazine editor.”
