Resume Objectives for Engineer Positions
All engineering positions--and there are many--rely on a good education and often a great deal of experience. Your resume will highlight much of this for you, but a good objective statement will boil it all down, and--more importantly--allow an employer to see what benefits you can bring to a company. All in a sentence or two.
