Topic Name: Quick Resume Question
Message Name: "Objective" line
Date Posted: 01/01/2006
Message: If I am applying for a specific position at a specific company, does my resume still need an objective line? Basically, I'm wondering if I need it because I have precious little landscape left on my one-pager, and it seems like it would be sort of obvious that "I am seeking a blah blah." Are objective lines generally more useful for resumes that are (for example) put on Monster.com or just sent out through networks, etc.?
