One fresh engineering graduate asked this question to me - "What should be my career objective?", "I need to write it in my resume". I'm very sure each one of us here either has faced this question or going to face it soon. So why not be prepared? I'm looking for fresh ideas on why and how should we write our career objective in resume. What should be the career objective for experienced professional and a fresh engineering graduate. [PS: I know this is an individuals' choice and cannot be generalized. Our aim is to have discussion on how to go about writing the career objective.]
Sure, keep checking the thread. We've lot of kinds of engineers over here so we should be able to come up with nice things here.
KISS Keep it short and simple. If you ask me what is my career objective, I will say "Growth" Thats it!
That's what you say when you QUIT the job. Let's start with the basics :- 1. Do we really need to write 'career objective' in resume? The answer is - Yes. Because everyone expects it and you aren't a maverick. The interviewer expects a career objective and that's why you should write it. Now question 2: 2. What should you write? What are your expectations from the job? What do you want to give to the company? How is the job relevant to your career? - these questions must be answered. Yes, growth is important. For both you and the company. So let's build our ideas on these pointers. ...and let's have a target of coming up with various career objectives that can be mentioned in not more than 6 words! I hope everyone is with me. Let' brainstorm!
Good one. By the way I don't think career objective is necessary to be mentioned on the CV. It might be good for a fresh graduate but not when I have set a foot and traveled some distance. In my opinion it is to give an insight into the person's long term goals. When you gain some experience, the CVs normally start with a brief introduction on the skill sets. Short term objective, of course is to win that job. Long term can be any thing. If you are true to your responsibilities and the company has right vision, the growth will come automatically.
What i think about career objective is that we can teach anybody how to write the career objective in the resume as everyone has its own career objectives in their life. So how can we tell anybody to write this or write that. it depends on him where he/she wants to stand
No, the aim is NOT to come up with one career objective for all CEans ! Writing career objective is one of the issues each one of us has faced ( or is going to face). I've seen people who don't understand their own career objectives (because its copy pasted from somewhere). We aim to come up with different ideas on writing career objectives; on deciding what could be one's expectations from the jobs etc.
for this one should understand himself first that what type of person he is and where he wants to stand in this competeting world. What are his expectations etc..etc...
Hi, If you are looking good "careers objective" here you can find good objective. "I am a sincere, loyal and dedicated individual who has a great deal of ambition. although I have extensive experience in the ( fill in the blank ) industry, I love to learn, and am always up to a challenge. I get along well with others, while also working efficiently on my own. I am seeking a position where I can develop and excel while giving my best to an employer." <removed> Thanks
To learn, improve and be an asset to your organisation. thats what my career objective says for now..is it bad?
Sorry for bumping into a very very old thread. But I think this is something many of my classmates need to know. Believe it or not, some people copy-paste their friends objectives Any ideas anyone?
Hi Tks very much for post: I like it and hope that you continue posting. If you want to get more materials that related to this topic, you can visit: Career objectives Best regards.
whatever your career objective is? but in resume it should simple and precise just. i think interviews try to become Ian Stine.
The career objective give idea to any recruiter about the thinking and motto of the person. Beware! HR guys are very cleaver, so show what is your intention with the job, why you are the most suitable for the post in hidden language, I mean that you can mention that the thing you know you want to utilize your skills and knowledge in competitive environment extras..
