What is the best way to follow up your resume submission with Recruiters? Led a Cross Functional Team on a resume?
Objective or Summary?
Objective, Summary, Profile, and many others. With so many options, which is relevant? What influence does the market economy have? How does the term become relevant in the current business climate?
A “Seller’s Market”
25-30 years ago, the term “Objective” was commonplace on a résumé. This was due to the fact that it was a good economy from a jobs perspective or what we in the industry call a “seller’s market”. In a “sellers market” the candidate’s “Objective” or what you are looking to get out of the job is relevant or at least a weighting factor.
Today’s “Buyer’s Market”
In today’s difficult economy, it is clearly a buyer’s market. Until the employer expresses interest in you, they are not interested in your objectives. Jackson Stevens recommends the use of a “Summary” or “Profile” to show potential employers that you are focused on their needs.
