No, it's useless. Part of the problem is that "objective" is a bad description. That's one reason I use "Target Position" myself. This should be a short statement of the kind of job you are looking for, like "Mail room assistant", "An easy job where nobody can tell I goof off most of the day", "CEO with private plane and minimum of $20M severance package", or whatever. This line is used for the first pass sorting of whether the resume is for the engineering manager, accounting manager, or the facilities department. As an engineering hiring manager, it should also tell me if you're a software engineer, hardware engineer, firmware, RF, or whatever specialty or combinations of specialties. ****************************************************************** Embed Inc, Littleton Massachusetts, (978) 742-9014. #1 PIC consultant in 2004 program year. http://www.embedinc.com/products -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
