Including a career objective on your resume is a good way of impressing to your prospective employer that you're an individual who knows where he is going. But just stating your career goal in a vague manner will not get its needed attention.

When written in a professional way, your career objective statement will add considerable value to what you have included in your resume.

There are three important keys that you need to use in unlocking good career objective statements. They are 1) Keep it short, 2) Focus on what you can give your employer, and 3) Be specific.

Now, for sample career objective statements that you can use, please consider the following. Just modify them according to the company or employer you are targeting.

a)    Professional Objective: To pursue my career through an organization which will use my management and administrative skills not only for my growth but also for the company's benefit.
