What are some good ideas for resume objectives?

Good ideas for resume objectives include tailoring the objective for each job application, listing the industry in which you are applying, and being as specific as possible in regard to goals and experience.

Job seekers should avoid beginning resume objectives in the first person: resume objectives should be specific to the industry and company rather than "me-oriented." An objective that reads "English tutor for ABC company, where I can use my experience, bilingual skills and degree to deliver top-notch education" is specific as opposed to an objective that reads "I want to be an English tutor for ABC company to help students."
