Resume Objective Examples for Students
Whether you are in high school or college, you might find that you're having a difficult time "padding" your resume so that it doesn't look like it just includes your part-time job and that one time you helped your dad at his office. An objective statement on your resume will go a long way to helping a potential employer see the kind of person you are, and what you can offer to him/her, even without an abundance of experience listed on the rest of the resume.
