8. Objective vs Profile

seeking or applying for.
- Understand Company requirement and make resume accordingly.
- Be Specific and do not use generalised statements.
• For eg: - Instead of – applying for a position where I would be asset to my employer Write –
applying for a position of Sales Executive for XYZ Ltd.

9. Objective
Example
Objective:
Seeking a summer internship in a small animal or mixed animal clinic to utilize my background and
knowledge in veterinary medicine and strengthen clinical skills
• Objective :
Can include an objective if you don’t have a cover letter – it introduces yourself to the employer.
50% of employers like objective statements while 50% think they are waste of space, so it’s your all
here.
They are nice for career fairs so that the employer knows immediately what you are looking for
(externship, internship, job etc.)
• Short and Concise
It should be specific and concise. 1-3 sentences, max.
• One Person Pronoun
It should include very few pronouns: this is the only appropriate place to use a pronoun on a resume.
Often “my” is used in objective statements.

• “Seeking a quality small animal internship where mentorship
is at the forefront in order to strengthen my clinical and
