Resume Objective feedback please

Updated:   Published

I am in the process of applying for new graduate RN position. I would appreciate some feedback and suggestions regarding the "Objective Statement" that I wrote.

Professional Objective: "A dedicated, compassionate, team-oriented, and multi-lingual Registered Nurse with excellent time management and organizational skills seeking nursing employment within XYZ hospital. Self-motivated professional with a strong work ethic and commitment to supporting team objectives to provide exceptional customer service and highest-quality patient care."

Thank you so much in advance!

Specializes in Quality Management.

It’s way to long for an objective save something for the interview. Too much text make the reader not want to read it and remember you only have a few seconds to grab your readers attention so KISS acronym applies: keep it short simple and sweet. It should be sentence summarizing what you want to do and why.

My objectIve reads like so: Work in an area where I can contribute my clinical, nursing skills as a nursing professional, providing compassionate care.

good luck

Last time I read about resumes it was advised to ditch the objective as well as the phrase about providing references.

Specializes in NICU.

Would never hire you on that paragraph,it is for them to find out you are team player,motivated,etc etc etc.

You are new admit it,explain your desire to learn,how you volunteered at XYZ....and so on

telling them you think you are great is simplistic and shortsighted.

Why did you want to be a nurse,why do you like it?
