If you are going to include an objective, it belongs at the top -- right after you name.

However, a lot of people are choosing not to include an objective these days. It's not required and is something that can trip you up if you say something that doesn't match exactly with what the hiring manager is looking for. So it has a small potential to help, but could be a big negative if it is not perfect -- and that risk/benefit ratio is not considered worth it by many people. I don't think I have had an objective on my resume since my first job back in the 1970's.

Yes -- assuming you put your contact information somewhere. Maybe you should look at some resumes to help you get started. You can search here from previous threads or just google the general topic to start getting some ideas.

Nothing because objectives are unnecessary and outdated.
