<p>Many people don’t put objective on their resumes because they already have experience in a couple positions. These past positions can indicate the objective. This style of resume may not work well for students who look for internship or entry level jobs and have no experience to show. The objective section may help to fill out the blank on the short resume in this case.</p>
<p>Here are some realities about job application:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Hiring manager, team members in a company department who read resumes to determine the qualification of applicants are usually not allowed to read application form (if any) for a specific job position. Only human resource people read application form to check for legal issues and other confidential information.</p></li>
<li><p>Many people don’t get hired for the position they apply for but they may get hired for other positions. The reason is simple: their resume are circulated within different departments or groups in the company and the objective helps. Job openings in are not always posted on the web.</p></li>
<li><p>Many large companies don’t collect resumes for specific job positions. They usually ask applicants to upload one resume to their database to keep for couple weeks or months and they will look at the resumes when they have job openings. The objective on the resume will help in this case.</p></li>
<li><p>Many applicants post their resume on the web for employers to view. Monster site is an example. The objective will help employers quickly determine a match or not.</p></li>
