Senseless Objective or Purpose



The purpose of a CV is to showcase one’s ability and potential; fashioning it with outlandish SENSELESS OBJECTIVESdetails is overstating the point, thereby defeating the purpose. The content in the resume should be sensible, attainable and must fall parallel to ones abilities and skills. An objective such as “looking for a challenging job” or “seeking a job environment to utilize my skills” gives an oblique impression and holds a futile outlook. Whereas a good objective signals a specific goal and defines the profile one wishes to apply. Sentences such as, “A content developer for the last 2 years looking for creative content in the technology field,” sets as an epitome for executing a perfect job objective.
