Title: The Resume Objective
Course: Canvas Practice Course > Section: July 19th Business Communications

Write at least a one page memo to your manager/supervisor that discusses the importance of a targeted/tailored objective on a resume.  This memo must discuss how a generic (one-size-fits-all) objective makes it less likely for a job candidate to be selected for an interview.  It must also discuss how an objective can be strengthened by adding content that indicates that the job candidate understands the relationship between an employee and employer and what responsibilities accompany the position of an employee.  The memo should also discuss how a job candidate can obtain specific information about a unique employer that s/he can use in composing a well-written, targeted/tailored objective.
