Objective Statement

An Objective Statement is a summary of a job applicant's reason for sending their resume to a company.  An objective statement can be included as part of the resume format itself or reside within the cover letter.  Essentially, the objective statement is telling the hiring company or recruiter why they deserve an interview.

Since the objective statement is briefly explaining career and position objectives of the applicant, it should be aligned with each type of job or position sought.  It is therefore advisable to customize or have several versions of an objective statement.
 
The following is an example of an objective statement that might be included in a cover letter:

I am bringing to your attention my strategic thinking abilities along with my proven record of cost reduction so that we can discuss my joining Company XYZ as a member of your Corporate Planning team.
