The purpose of an objective is to simply indicate the job for which you are applying and possibly ‘grab their attention’ by highlighting very specific skills or relevant experience that will encourage further review of your resume.. Another way to get good response is to tailor your objective to each specifc job you submit your resume.
You don’t really want to state too much of what you want from the company, but what you can bring to it. Your objective is not the place to highlight that you are seeking to learn, grow, have fun, etc.
For example, don’t put “I am seeking a job that will allow me the chance to learn and grow in a fun and creative environment” unless the job posting specifically states “We are a fun and creative environment seeking adminsitrative assistants willing to learn and grow.”
Take your cues from the actual job description supplemented with iresearch on the company. The better suited you are for the specific position, the more detail you should include in the objective:
So for example if you are applying for a job in a bank, you can say “a position as administrative assistant where I can utilize my experience and education in financial industries”
By carefully tailoring each resume and objective to the specific job for which you are applying, you will get their attention in a good way.
