To Write an Objective or Not to Write an Objective

Writing my resume has been hard. Deciding what to include and what not to include has been even harder.

My father says that my resume must have an objective. My friends and husband disagree and my coworkers arent even sure what an objective is (which was confusing in its own way). I've heard some say that your cover letter should serve to do what an objective would do.

Ultimately, I went with Dad's advice. And, I let him help me write it as well. As of now, I think it sounds good, but a little stiff.

Now that I have a resume written, I think I can start to think freely and try to get my voice into it more.
