Which one to
use?

Writing a wellcrafted resume


objective is as
important as
wearing nice shoes
to an interview.

wouldnt wear flip -flops to an interview, you
wouldnt wear your shiny shoes to the beach.

You need a resume summary, if;


You have years of experience
You have no intentions to change your domain

What not to say

Dont use a general career objective


statement for all your applications. It will hurt
your chances more than it will help. You are
trying to collect points in every section of your
resume.

Dont use fillers. Whatever you say in


your CV needs to serve a particular
mission. It needs to help you position
yourself for that role

Avoid writing long paragraphs. It should


be short, simple, and effective. Hiring
managers will only browse through it.
They dont have time to go over it in great
detail.

Its not about you! Its about what you give


to the organization. Leverage your
experience and skills and explain briefly
how they will benefit them.
