subject: Making the Career Objectives Paragraph in Your CV Simple & Crisp [print this page] You may be confident and well-spoken, absolutely fit to impress your recruiter but have you put proper career objectives in your CV?
Career objective (CO)' refers to a precise statement that is used to augment your CV. It actually gives details about the position that you are seeking in an organization.
Sometimes people are not able to get appropriate career objectives in their CVs and may end up getting wrong jobs. Surveys have shown that global economy is gradually reviving, but Indian IT industry is still facing the problem of high attrition. And, one of the major reasons for the increasing attrition in IT sector is the mismatch between promised job and the situation on hand. Though, employees keep on thinking that the company has played a bait-and-switch game, but sometimes it's the wrongly drafted CV that has caused the inconvenience.
Easy ways to make the career objectives paragraph brighten up your resume
Put the career objectives paragraph in a prominent place either at the beginning of your resume or at the end. This will ensure that the reader will notice the paragraph when he/she goes through your CV.
A vital aspect of an appropriate CO is that it should be in rhyme with the job that you have applied for. For instance, if you are applying for a job in an IT firm, you have to ensure that the career objective paragraph clearly reflects your academic proficiencies and ambitions in the particular field.
If you are seeking entry level positions in the company, you have to ensure that the CO document is practical and not over ambitious. Since you would be a beginner in the corporate world, the CO paragraph should always state that you are looking to join a reputed company which would give you a fair chance to learn more and enrich yourself.
And finally, do not discuss what you are looking for from the company. Use the CO document to mention what you can do for the company and not the other way around.
