If you come across a resume, and he or she does not the right objective, but at the same time has a good job history along with great statistics, you should take the time to talk to them and learn about them. If they are a good fit, coach them on how the resume should be written so that the client would notice that their resume is marketable.

Problem with objectives nowadays is that about 50% HR & recruiters like them and 50% of HR & recruiters find that an objective is redundant and "outdated". Instead--many are now recommending that you place a "profile" where the objective should have been unless it's a career change that you are seeking. Another problem with objectives is more often than not they pigeon hole someone into a specific job.

So what would an example of an objective from someone seeking a sales position be without being too specific?

[@snoop89654]

Maybe I am just biased since I am a Technical Recruiter, but resumes without objectives does not necessarily mean that he/she is selling themselves short. We all know that the #1 objective is to get a job. We all know that us Recruiters work for our clients, and our job is to find them top tier candidates. It does not matter if you are Glen Gary Glen Ross or Gordan Gekko, if you apply online, I will ignore you. Most of the top talent are passively looking.

throwing away a resume because a paragraph is kind of pompous and a power trip. taking out great candidates because of formatting preference seems extremely inefficient for hiring for progression of a company.

[@menachemtodros6853]

The more I listen to HR ditzes like this, the more I realize there is no rhyme or rhythm to the madness, because there are as many views on applicants and their resumes as there are HR ditzes / recruiters out there.

Not everyone feels comfortable disclosing address. Give them the benefit of the doubt that they wouldn't apply to a position is far away.
