Sad to say, the day of the objective is no longer. Companies no longer want to know (or care??) what it is that you really want to do. The line "to work for a progressive company" no longer works because ALL companies are progressive.
Hiring managers are, however, seeking to learn about your skill sets and your key words that are put forth in a summary. Please note, a skill set and your attributes are different. Knowledge of MS Word and "great conversationalist" or "people person" are worlds apart in necessity. Don't forget, companies will want to see "surfing" the internet on your resume. The days of cliches are now history. Avoid, "multi-tasking", or "results oriented" as EVERYBODY has that on their resumes. Put some real "meat" into the summary. Are you a Notary? Put that on there.
