Resume Evaluation: Precision of Objective

This is one of series of articles being written by Alpha Dog Resumes.com explaining how the online resume writing service evaluates the thousands of resumes that are sent to it each year.

One of the ten criteria that is reviewed is Precision of Objective.  The resume is given a score of 1 to 5, with 5 being the highest score.

A score of 3 or lower indicates that your resume fails to tell the reader your specific job goal.  It may fail to state obvious matters such as the position for which you are applying.  It may state qualifications that make no sense in the context of the job opening.  An unclear objective suggests a canned resume that is being forwarded to all job openings with few, if any, changes to match the job that is being offered.

For example, should a job seeker state that his objective is to “Find a job in office management, registered nursing, or daycare”?  Only if the job for which he is applying is for an Office Managing Registered Nurse in an Infant Care Center.

We will help you write a resume that works extraordinarily well but that can be tailored by you to fit each specific position for which you are applying.  Send out the same resume for 50 different job openings, and you are likely to get no response from 50 employers.
