Your objective would be to obtain a position as a personal trainer. The objective is just the position you are looking for. On mine I added some other stuff, like "...where I can use my skills and knowledge in yada yada" to mine.

That should work.

That sounds good. FYI: it is spelled "attendant".

Keep the objective clear and concise--to the point. Don't include too much of the "yada-yada" crap.
As a fitness manager, my eyes always scroll down past that part.
Yeah you usually don't need much, if any. It helps in some positions where you are trying to highlight particular skills or assets that relate directly to the job.

Last resume class I took said not to bother with the objective. They suggested having an attention-getting summary at the beginning, perhaps something like "Steve is a highly qualified CSCS with outstanding people skills and excellent time management. Received Gold Star award. Reliable. Flexible. Hard worker."
Basically, your summary paragraph will identify the role you wish to fill AND name your top few skills and accomplishments together.

objectives are essentially space fillers. You know why you're there and so does the recruiter. On a side note, you're waiting until the day before to build a resume!?!? :p
Good luck, Steve!

Excellent advice. I just took a career management course that said the same thing. I've got a short summary paragraph (2 or 3 sentences) that uses positive adjectives that accurately describe me (analytical, responsible, etc.) Followed by "Selected skill and knowledge includes:" with about a half dozen bullet points.
If you're applying for a job, they assume that your immediate objective is to get the job. However, you should be ready to answer questions about yourself (long-term/short-term goals, strengths, weaknessess, accomplishments, etc.) and also have a list of questions to ask about the company that you are interviewing with. I have found that it really impresses the hiring managers if you ask why they joined the company and what keeps them there.

Great advice. I've never seen that before.

Im gettin scared how many people dont know about Zane and his vacuum.
I know Frank Zane. I was just having some fun.
I was serious about the Summary though. Here's what mine looks like:
Highly-motivated quota achiever with extensive experience in the software industry. Exceptionally strong client-management skills with unique ability to interface with individuals at every level of an organization. High-energy self-starter with "hunter" mentality. Able to achieve an organization's goals through strong leadership, dedication and teamwork. Capable of independently developing a new territory or managing and existing account base.
I then use bullet points to show Key Qualifications. Here's an example:
Strong at conveying a high-level solution and vision to key executives
Consistent and successful over-quota attainment
Proven ability to close business
So start with a Capability Summary, follow with Key Qualifications, then support it all with your Professional Experience and Accomplishments.
Good luck.

Howie... I work in HR, and one aspect of your bullets jumps right out at me. The phrase "proven ability" is used SO MUCH on sales resumes that it's become almost meaningless (much like a bachelor's degree). I'm not saying you should take it out - i just find it amusing. You'd be stupid to not have it in there, of course
