Frequently Asked Questions


Do résumés need an objective?

Writing an objective for your résumé is optional but can be helpful in the following scenarios:
  • You’re making a career change: If you’re changing careers, the résumé objective statement is a good place to outline your career transition and how your experience and education will make you a good fit for the role.
  • You have little professional experience: A résumé objective statement can help fill white space and catch the eye of hiring managers if your work experience doesn’t take up an entire page (or two pages for mid-to-senior level careers).
  • You have relocated or will soon relocate: Including a résumé objective can help explain why your legal address may not align with the location of a given role.

How long should a résumé objective be?

Keep your résumé objective—sometimes called a career objective—short, one to two sentences maximum. It should briefly explain why you want or are qualified for a given job; your résumé’s skills and experience sections are where you can go into detail.

You can see a few career objective examples above. To quickly create an objective for your résumé, use a résumé objective generator like the one at the top of this page.

But no matter what you choose to include, be sure to frame it in a way that speaks to the job for which you’re applying. For example, you may wish to use relevant keywords plucked straight from the job description.
