I enjoy your posts. Something I also consider, when writing a resume, is the audience. Who is going to be reading this document and what pieces of information will inspire them to give it a thumbs-up? While it might occassionally reach the hiring manager directly, in most cases the resume will start in the Human Resource department. Knowing this, it is important to create a document that is attractive to different people throughout the hiring food chain. Human Resource professionals will typically look for things like "hot buttons" related to the "official" job description, stable work history, and a steady job progression. The hiring manager tends to view resumes through a more technical eye, looking for industry-related skills, contributions you have made to previous employers, and whether or not you have the ability to quickly make an impact. Consider eliminating the objective and create a "Professional Highlights" section with bullets that highlight each accomplishment and relevant skill. The bottom line is to show value to all potential readers early and often throughout your resume. Hi Rebecca,
