    You mean like on a resume?  I took off my objective statement a long time ago.  I figure you're supposed to tailor the resume and cover letter to the specific job anyway, so the objective is really just a fancy way of saying "I want this job."

    I agree with Angela.  Just axe the objective.

    You could include a "qualifications summary" instead of an "objective" as well.

    That's what I have now.  I suppose I should have mentioned that.

    Lose the objective. Just keep your Core qualifications summary up to date and tailored to the position.

    GL!

    ditto angela. I look at tons of resumes & don't really care about objectives.

    Good luck!
