The Meaningless Objective Statement

Are you still using an Objective Statement on your resume? If so, you should remove it.  Objective statements are meaningless to employers.  However, for some unknown reason, many job seekers (and resume writers) continue to use them.  

Employers know, as should you, that your objective is to get the job - so the objective statement is usually considered by them to be meaningless fluff. Hiring managers really don't care to read about your objective, they want to know about you and what you can do for their company. So, save your valuable resume space for a branding statement or summary that gives the reader a reason to continue reading your resume and call you in for an interview.
