help on my friend's resume

bloodytom · Jul 5, 2006

do we really need to impress future employers with our resumé objective? i think it's more of the performance that she will show her employer. what does she want to do? what does she want to achieve? tell her to base it on her dreams alongside her capabilities. and also consider the values. if it impresses the future employer then it's good. but dont make one just to impress.

i might have exagerrated on the impressing the employers part, what she really wants is to have a presentable resume that would be able to speak of her qualities and capabilities. it is still important to be able to impress your employers because your resume would say a lot about the applicant. anyway, thanks for your post.

BloodyTom, of course the experience and quality of work is necessary, but the resume is the first impression. How about something like, "A position in the field of nursing with opportunity for new challenges leading to effective patient outcome." Just tell your friend to think about what her ultimate goal is...then sum it up in a sentence or two. Hope this helps! :)

thanks a lot newyorkcity RN, my friend is from California and she wants to transfer hospitals. i am going to email her already and tell her to just write about her goal as a nurse. it really helped a lot, it gave me an idea on what to tell her... thanks again!!
