The Objective: Stop Putting the Objective on Your Resume

I am so relieved that I don't need to write an objective for my resume.  Whenever I would create or update my resume to apply for a job or college I would cry out in terror when I had to update my objective.  

Doesn't it seem that my objective is obvious if I am giving you my resume?  If you are offering me a position and I give you a resume, I want to fill the slot that is open.  Does anyone even read the objective?  I feel like the act of writing an objective is just a contest of who can string the words "obtain", "pursue", "interest", "elevate", and "enhance" most skillfully together.  Objectives don't even make sense at first.  You read it, reread it, furrow your brow, cock your head to the side, then begin to try to interpret the jumble of words that sounds as though someone put forth a painful amount of effort to make himself sound more intelligent than he actually is.  Phew!  That was a mouthful.  

Okay, I have given "objectives" a hard time here.  They do serve a very useful purpose.  Thesaurus manufacturers all over the world found a boost in sales once objectives became the norm in resumes.  

It is just really nice to know that someone else, someone more educated and experienced than I recognizes the superfluity of objectives.  

Alright, I am done ranting.  But seriously, what a relief!
