Standard resume formats include
the following:
- Career Objective
- Personal Summary
- Achievements
- Work Experience
- Education
- Personal Details
Looks great, right? Let’s review
the list once again and see what we can eliminate.
Is a career objective really
necessary when you also have your personal summary delivering the same
information? Not really. Are you looking for concrete reasons as to why you
should stop using a career objective? Read below to find some reasons:
1. It is old-fashioned – Career
objectives were initially written to impress employers by indicating how much
of an asset you would be for the company. In recent times, the reasons for your
employment are obvious to companies and there is no need to mention it on paper
either.
2. It is ordinary – Employers are
well aware of the reason of your employment. But when you use a statement that
is commonly used by thousands of people that only speaks about yourself but not
about you as a part of the company, things never look up.
Now that you have got the reasons
for not including the career objective, here are some alternatives that you can
use instead:
1. Job Target / Job Designation –
Add your target job on top of your CV. This shows your area of interest and
lets employers know exactly the position you are sending your application for.
2. Personal Branding declaration –
This section contains a one line statement and briefly explain who you are and
the ideas you can get to improve the company’s market standing and internal
processes.
Use the above mentioned tips to
build your CV. Like what you see but don’t have the time to implement? Visit
