Including an objective statement is a current trend for positions in industry, government, consulting and the private sector. If the job posting you are\"applying\" to for this assignment is in one of these areas, include a Resume Objective. Objectives generally are not expected for academic research positions, though resumes for academic positions may include an analogous \"research interests\" statement or bullet list.  \nHere are some do's and don't lists for Resume Objectives: [https://uptowork.com/blog/resume](https://uptowork.com/blog/resume)objective, and some examples for early-career people and students who may not have experience: [https://resumegenius.com/how-to-write-a-resume/career-objective-writing-guide](https://resumegenius.com/how-to-write-a-resume/career-objective-writing-guide). The following is a GEOSCIENCE SPECIFIC primer on Objectives, with commented examples of good and bad objective statements:  \nExamples of some good and bad “Objectives”  \nBy Kathy Goetz Troost, PhD, LG  \nThe best “objective statement” is one that addresses the job requirements in the same keywords as used in the job announcement. Employers also want to know: if you are looking for full or time-time work and in what discipline you are seeking work. Always avoid passive voice and use action verbs. Try to express enthusiasm since employers are looking for passionate people. Many HR people and prospective employers do not even read the cover letter. But those that do expect the letter to be well written and to provide a concrete example of why you are the best fit for the job. Cover letters and/or resumes with errors end up in the recycle bin over 95% of the time. The same is true foryour objective statement.  \nTo gain experience as a geologist working in the field in the Pacific Northwest, and to use my strong work ethic, technical skills, and communication skills to contribute to the success of along term project. This one isn’t bad, a bit boring. It addresses key words in the job announcement. I’d give it a 3 out of 5, with 5 being the best.  \nJoining my geology skills and leadership talents with a passionate and enthusiastic professional team that is dedicated to achieving highest client satisfaction by consistently delivering quality results. This one is very good since it speaks to the candidate’s high standards and indirectly compliments the company. This one also says that the candidate is a leader, something every employer wants to see since it speaks to the ultimate long-term success of the candidate. 5/5  \nI am seeking a job as an entry level geologist at TGI and I am confident my Excel skills coupled with my previous experience as a geologist make me a strong candidate for the position. Not very creative, 2/5. Intriguing about Excel skills however, so if that were a big part of the job,  \nthis one may garner an interview. The interviewer would be looking hard at the personality of the candidate in this case.  \nI am seeking a challenging full time position in a small consulting firm as a geologist working with a focus on Pacific Northwest geology. 2/5. Not very inspiring. Has a typo. Doesn’t seem like the candidate has much aspiration.  \nI am seeking a full-time position as a geologist to expand my geologic expertise, work on challenging problems, and have a mix of office, lab, and field work. Ok. Very generic. 2/5, just ok as a default. The candidate would definitely want to tailor this to the job announcement better.  \nA natural hazard monitoring and research position with a talented organization. This leaves a lot on the table….but it is also intriguing. Simple and to the point. 2/5. Should include more: about the type of position sought, i.e. full time, part time, etc.; and more about the candidate.  \n","cbCaieNjf0IOPQt6","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaieNjf0IOPQt6","pdf",69886,"English","# Resume Objectives Overview\n## When to Include an Objective\n## Do’s and Don’ts\n## Geoscience-Specific Examples and Ratings","[{\"question\":\"What is a resume objective statement, and what should it accomplish?\",\"answer\":\"A resume objective is a short, targeted statement placed at the beginning of a resume.
