Start Your Career as Administrative Assistant

Sep-25-2009

IS THIS OBJECTIVE OK for a resume that will be used for an administrative assistant job?

"To obtain an administrative assistant position which will utilize acquired knowledge, skills, and collective experience. To provide a source of upward mobility towards my career goals, while using the skills and experience I have acquired through previous employment to complete this position to the highest standard.

should i use just the first sentence? is it too long? is it too wordy and confusing?

if anyone has any revisions or good ideas PLEASE let me know i realllllly want this job!!!

I guess it’s wordy.

Here’s another take:

To work as an Administrative Assistant utilizing my skills and experience to contribute to the growth of the company and to move my career forward.

But I should tell you that objective statement in a resume is passé.

Instead of writing an objective, write a strong summary of your experience, skills, and education, in your resume, that focuses on fulfilling the needs of the employer.

Don’t worry about the objective. Think for a moment you are the employer. Are you interested in resumes that clearly focus on addressing the needs of the job and improving the bottom line of your company? Or are you interested in resumes that tell the objectives of the applicants?

If you believe in the first, turn the spotlight on a strong summary in your resume by emphasizing your experience and skills that will tell the employer how you can be an asset to the company.
