Resume Writing
Objectives, Summaries or Professional Profiles
Introduction
The purpose of a resume is to "sell" your professional expertise to the hiring manger. The summary statement, professional profile, or career objective is the first "advertisement" of your skills and expertise that a hiring manger will see. Each one has a slightly different intent and feel.
In this lesson, you will compare statements and understand their purpose. Then you will determine which one is best for you in order to create one for your own resume.
