Heres a resume writing tip: be specific in your objective; and (if you can do so without being disingenuous) express that you dont just want a job, you want THAT job.
I looked through fifteen resumes tonight trying to find the best candidate to fill a Production Designer position. Each resume presented numerous positive attributes that made each candidate worthy of consideration, but you know what drove one single candidate to the top of the stack? The first line in his resume was Objective: I want a position as a Production Designer.
Any other Objective I read was a series of resume-safe buzzwords that make no clear commitment to the type of work that candidate wants to do. They say, in not so many words, I just want a job; whereas this outlier seems to state I want THAT job, the position you are trying to fill.
