Yeah, my example wasn't great. I've got one on MY resume that I REALLY
like, but I don't want everybody else on the list to put it on theirs!
: )
Anyway, I agree that a good Profile or Summary can be VERY powerful. I was
just pointing out that an Objective doesn't have to be worthless.
To me, the bottom line is: Get those buzzwords on your resume! And, as
Andrew suggested, show ACTION and RESULTS in your resume: What did you do?
What did it accomplish? Show me!
