I read somewhere recently a suggestion to simply punt the “Objective” section on your resume. I initially scoffed at the idea, but now I am starting to think that is sage advice.

This morning I was looking through resumes and came across this objective:

To find a position where I can contribute as part of a team that strives to emphasize the importance of effective communication through design.

Dump the objective section of your resume. More than likely, it is filled with broad, superfluous statements that may be more detrimental than helpful.
