State What You
Want to Do and What You Will Do
The key word is
“objective”: what’s the next step in your career? How will your skills benefit
the company? How will these two things merge?
Notice that an objective
written as “to obtain a position with ‘X’ company or in ‘Y’ field” doesn’t fit
the above descriptive category. There’s a reason for that: it’s not a good
objective.
Your entire resume is marketing you: your abilities,
accomplishments, goals and the partnership you intend to establish with the
prospective employer. Most HR
managers reveal that when reviewing resumes, they look for:
·
Skills and accomplishments fitting the needs of the
position
·
An understanding of the company and the position
·
A demonstration of thought backing career choices
The objective is the slogan, if you will, that
encapsulates all of this.
Customize For Your
Career Goals
By reviewing several resume objective sample statements,
you can get a good idea of what to add to your own resume. It's important to
tailor each objective statement not only to your specific career goals, but to
the position you are applying for in order to link your unique qualifications
to the employer's needs. The more specific you can be about your qualifications
and how you fit the job, the better your chances of success
Administrative
Assistant
An administrative assistant's sample objective should
include qualities needed in a good assistant. A sample resume objective for an
administrative assistant may say, "Obtain a position as an administrative
assistant where I can use my organizational skills, writing talent, and meeting
planning experience."
Finances and
Accounting
Resume objective statements for accounting and finance
positions should emphasize quantitative skills. Highlight specific experience,
such as tax experience, accounts payable, accounts receivable, or payroll
skills. "Seeking accounts receivable position where I can use my corporate
background and attention to detail to improve outcomes."
Polish Your Resume
Nurse, teacher, doctor,
airline pilot, waitress,
cashier, accountant, administrative assistant, welder, plumber,
engineer...everyone needs a resume, and in today's competitive job market, a
well-crafted resume or curriculum
vitae can help you stand out among the applicants for any position.
Carefully craft your resume using these tips and others to achieve your career
objectives. Edit, revise, and edit again until you're certain that your resume
targets not only the position you seek, but gets to the heart of your own
personal career goals. (The terms
"curriculum vitae" and "resume" are often used
interchangeably. These types of documents are most commonly used to market
individuals to prospective employers. They can also be used to demonstrate
credentials for people who are seeking business loans or grant funding for
special projects. There's not a single right way to write a c.v., but there are
certain types of information that any curriculum vitae template should
include.)
·
Use keywords
and language found in job advertisement. This will demonstrate that you’ve paid
attention to what the employer needs.
·
Tailor each resume objective to fit the position. HR
managers can see right through "assembly-line" resumes.
My problem with objectives is that I see so
many that are all about "I, me, my." It's all about what the
jobseeker wants. The employer doesn't CARE what the jobseeker wants! Employers
care about "what can you do for the company?" If you can craft an
objective that tells the employer that, and is not as self-absorbed as many
"objectives" are, you're way ahead of the game. It's good to know,
and state, what you want in your career. But don't come across as self-absorbed
about it. If I received a resume with an "objective" on it like I see
in most resumes, I'd think, "I don't care what YOU want." And toss
it. Give employers what they want--not what you want.
Set Yourself Apart with the Cover Letter
Each cover letter provides an opportunity for
you to really show a prospective employer how much you know about them and the
advertised position and, more importantly, how you’ll anticipate their
company’s needs. This is your chance to really sell yourself – in a way that
the employer envisions you adding value to their company.

Jobseekers also tend to
ignore the employer's need to know what the candidate can contribute, instead
considering the objective as an invitation to list everything the jobseeker
wants, needs or desires from the sought-after job.
A typical self-serving (BAD) objective is one along these lines:
Career
objective: To
obtain a meaningful and challenging position that enables me to learn the
accounting field and allows for advancement.
- If you do use an objective, make it very specific, not
vague and meaningless. Here's one I really like that one of my students
wrote: "To manage people, interface with customers, and work
with highly technical software or hardware applications." I like it
because it's specific but not limiting. This objective could apply to many
different jobs, yet the skills described are quite specific.
- Objectives should reflect the employer's perspective,
not the jobseeker's, and should tell what the jobseeker can contribute. An
objective should demonstrate the value the candidate will add to the
organization.
- Objectives should be as concise as possible.
- Objectives may help sharpen the focus of your resume,
especially if your experience is very diverse, or you are switching into a
career not supported by the experience listed on your resume.
- If you choose not to list an objective on your resume,
you may choose to discuss your objective in your cover letter.
- Whether or not you choose to include an objective, you
may wish to present a skills or qualifications section on your resume

There is an end… the
greenhorns



Words disappear,
Words weren't so clear,
Only echos passing through the night.
The lines on my face,
Your fingers once traced,
Fading reflection of what was.
Thoughts re-arrange,
Familiar now strange,
All my skin is drifting on the wind.
Spring brings the rain,
With winter comes pain,
Every season has an end.
I try to see through the disguise,
But the clouds were there,
Blocking out the sun (the sun).
Thoughts re-arrange,
Familiar now strange,
All my skin is drifting on the wind.
Spring brings the
rain,
With winter comes pain,
Every season has an end.
There's an end,
There's an end,
There's an end,
There's an end,
There's an end.

Truman Capote – wrote story Breakfast at Tiffany’s was based on
- Don’t run away from your past. It’ll only
come back to bite you. Holly tries to run away from her life as a country bumpkin and her
husband twice her senior at 14. She ran away from her home to the elusive
New York City determined to make it, but lost a sense of self and reality
when she cut off her roots. Not to mention, her past came back for her and
left her with no where to hide. That said, it’s okay to want to change, to
start anew, but don’t let go of your roots no matter how painful or
unattractive they may be, because it’s what makes you, you. A house can’t
be built without a foundation, and neither can you.
- Refusing to live life in a cage often results
in just that. Holly
thinks of her self as a free spirit, “We belong to nobody and nobody
belongs to us. We don’t even belong to each other!” she says. While she
thinks she is a free spirit, just a “no name slob,” refusing to take
ownership and face life as a fact binds her in a cage. A person can be a
free spirit without rejecting everything around her. Take ownership and
responsibility for your actions, enjoy the ones you love, and face life as
a fact. Otherwise, you’ll just keep running into yourself no matter where
you go.
- Being independent doesn’t mean you can’t be
in love. It is
clear throughout the movie that Holly identifies relationships with
dependence, which she believes she is beyond. Determined to do it on her
own, she rejects the love of her neighbor in fear of being “put in a
cage.” Life wouldn’t be worth living without love, and in fact, I think
relationships help people to become more independent and confident in
their own self. It’s human nature to need and give love, and running away
from it will only put you back in the little cage like Holly built for
herself.
- You can live a lie until it’s true. Just make
sure it’s the lie you want to live. Holly’s entire life in NYC is a lie. Her
name, her mysterious past, she doesn’t ever reveal her true self. She’s a
phony, but a “real phony,” because she believes all the lies she tells
herself. That’s a lot of work if you ask me, but it works. I think one
should be careful about the lies they tell themselves, because once you
start believing them with all your heart, like Holly does, they might come
true.
- Finally, a little black dress and a tiara is all a girl needs for a little pick me up.
I shall go the
way of the open sea,
To the lands I knew before you came,
And the cool ocean breezes shall blow from me
The memory of your name.
- - - - Laurence Hope (Adela Florence Nicolson)
The adoration of
his heart had been to her only as the perfume of a wild flower, which she had
carelessly crushed with her foot in passing.
- - - - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
The greatest
tragedy of life is not that men perish, but that they cease to love.
- - - - W. Somerset Maugham
After all my
erstwhile dear, my no longer cherished;
Need we say it was not love, just because it perished?
- - - - Edna St. Vincent Millay
It's not love's
going hurts my days,
But that it went in little ways.
- - - - Edna St. Vincent Millay
Time does not bring relief; you all have lied
Who told me time would ease me of my pain!
I miss him in the weeping of the rain;
I want him at the shrinking of the tide;
The old snows melt from every mountain-side,
And last year's leaves are smoke in every lane;
But last year's bitter loving must remain
Heaped on my heart, and my old thoughts abide.
There are a hundred places where I fear
To go, -- so with his memory they brim.
And entering with relief some quiet place
Where never fell his boot or shone his face
I say, "There is no memory of him here!"
And so stand stricken, so remembering him.
- - - - Edna St. Vincent Millay "Time Does Not Bring Relief" 1917
Where you used
to be, there is a hole in the world, which I find myself constantly walking
around in the daytime, and falling into at night. I miss you...
- - - - Edna St. Vincent Millay
I don't wish to
imply
that there aren't good
things about you
or that you're not
an extraordinary person
but I'd rather
let other people
enjoy the surprise
- - - - George Tsargas "now that it's over"
Once, when I was young and true,
Someone left me sad -
Broke my brittle heart in two;
And that was very bad.
Love is for unlucky folk,
Love is but a curse.
Once there was a heart I broke;
And that, I think, is worse.
- - - - Dorothy Parker "A Very Short Song"
Laurel is green for a season, and love is sweet
For a day.
And love grown bitter with treason, and laurel
Outlives not May.
- - - - Algernon Charles Swinburne "Hymn to Proserpine"
In secret we met -
In silence I grieve,
That thy heart could forget,
Thy spirit deceive.
If I should meet thee
After long years,
How should I greet thee? -
With silence and tears.
- - - - George Gordon, Lord Byron "When We Two Parted"
I’ve always been fascinated with the concept of artistic intent.
What story is an artist trying to tell, or what statement is the artist trying
to make in a given work of art? What is the point of their work; what are they trying to share or express or do they know? Is their art simply an expression of something they thought or felt?
It seems common for people to focus on “The Story Behind ” artful presentation. Instead,
I like to contemplate “what are they attempting or wanting to capture; why... and what happens next”
photography: The idea is to capture the moment or emotion conjured up, in its honest and natural concept and to move
this forward rather than to focus on what inspired the photo.
simply: recognize what story lives before, in and beyond the still and begin sharing it via the camera
