What Does An Introductory Statement Do?

Career Objective
A career objective identifies either a specific job you want to land or a general career track you
would like to pursue. Some experts advise against including a career objective because it can
categorize you so narrowly that you miss out on interesting opportunities, and it is essentially about
fulfilling your desires, not about meeting the employers needs. In the past, most rsums included
a career objective, but in recent years more job seekers are using a qualifications summary or a
career summary.
However, if you have little or no work experience in your target profession, a career objective might
be your best option. If you do opt for an objective, word it in a way that relates your qualifications to
employer needs. Avoid such self-absorbed statements as A fulfilling position that provides ample
opportunity for career growth and personal satisfaction.

Qualifications Summary
A qualifications summary offers a brief view of your key qualifications. The goal is to let a reader
know within a few seconds what you can deliver. You can title this section generically as
Qualifications Summary or Summary of Qualifications, or if you have one dominant qualification,
you can use that as the title. Consider using a qualifications summary if you have one or more
important qualifications but dont yet have a long career history. Also, if you havent been working
long but your college education has given you a dominant professional theme, such as
multimedia design or statistical analysis, you can craft a qualifications summary that highlights your
educational preparedness.
Career Summary
A career summary offers a brief recap of your career, with the goal of presenting increasing levels
of responsibility and performance. A career summary can be particularly useful for executives who
have demonstrated the ability to manage increasingly larger and more complicated business
operations a key consideration when companies look to hire upper-level managers.
