Target Job Title
I have been revising resumes for countless professionals in several different industries, and even with the highest paid managers, I've noticed one missing element... listing a target job title.
Typically, I notice the name, objective, then the summary of qualifications. First of all, you shouldn't be using an objective (unless you are entry-level, which I talk more about here. Second, your target job title immediately tells the hiring manager who you are. Instead of wasting space with a meaningless objective, just list your job title and go straight to your qualifications statement.
A few examples:
- Certified Pharmacy Technician
- Senior Marketing Associate
- Director of Business Development
- Program Manager
If you are unsure of your title, but established in a particular field, try listing out your competencies right away like this:
- Office Management | Human Resources | Executive Team Assistance
- Account Management | Sales Consultation | Partner Development
This second option also works for career changers or those re-joining the workforce after a long leave.
If you need further assistance in this area, feel free to contact me under the "About Me" tab.
