So this is gonna make me sound really dumb but I haven't done something like this in a while so just bear with me

okay so i still havent heard back from the vet place so i'm moving on to bigger better things. all these other vet clinics in the area need a job resume, and i cant remember the last time i made one, so yeah, i can't remember for the life of me what the objective is suppose to be on a resume. is that like what position you want or is that what you hope to bring to the business? i've been thinking about it for like an hour and i've finally had enough so i thought i would ask you guys for a lil help if ya dont mind.

so anyway what's an objective

Step 3: Write Your Resume Objective Statement

An objective statement is the first thing listed after your personal information.
The objective statement is a sentence or two that sums up your current career goals.
An objective statement is not always a resume necessity, but it can be a handy summary of what you're looking for in a position.
If you're starting your resume from scratch, write your objective statement first. This can help you decide what information to highlight on your resume, even if you ultimately decide not to include an objective statement.
Do not write a generic objective statement; it is more likely to turn off a prospective employer.
Example: My goal is to get a rewarding job that pays well.
Your objective statement should relate to the job you are applying for.
Example: An experienced public relations consultant, I now seek a position as an account manager where I can utilize my management skills.
Target this statement to the position you're interested in. This is the first information on the page after your name and address, and it should make the case for you being the perfect person for the job!

A resume usually includes a cover letter that is specific to the job you are applying for. And it is your opportunity to really sell yourself. Nobody else is going to brag about you in the application process. So you gotta do it yourself.

Your resume is more or less a working history of your life. You include (with dates) the schools you attended, any diplomas/degrees you have, all the jobs you've had, and so on. A lot of office software include templates for resume making. But if you don't have one, you can find them very easily.

A very important thing to remember is spelling and grammar. I hope this helped a little.

Objective is like a brief summary of what you are looking for/ will bring to the table...

Something like this (just as a quick idea): Seasoned staffing specialist seeking a challenging position where I can utilize my skills to help grow a company.

Something sorta like that...I hope that gives you a round about idea!

I think the last time i used one was about 20 years ago.

I didnt use one on the job i have now. I just told what i know about automotive paint and they hired me on the spot.

That and the fact that i am fluent in Spanish.

Look online for resume' guidelines. You should be albe to find some info on them.

I know when I was going to college my advisor told us we should not list any jobs over 10 years past. I have no idea if this still holds true or not?

Must be what I did wrong? I always made sure my resume' was 100% accurate. I know lies can come back and bite you in the @$$. So I did my best to tell the truth. And I rarely got any interviews.

I also showed up dressed as I thought I should if the job was already mine. Other people would show up in shorts, T-shirt, and flip flops. They got interviews. I went home.
