They asked me to bring in a resume. What should i put on the resume as my objective? Any Ideas. What else should i add on to my resume to make it more appealing to them. Thank You.

Hello,

Deciding to include an objective on your resume is determined by whether or not you're pursuing a position similar to the job you had most recently or not. An objective is not required if you're seeking a position similar to your most recent or current position. Without an objective, resume readers assume you are seeking a position similar to your most recent job.

When you're seeking a career change or a position different from your most recent job, you should include an objective to communicate your desired position.

“Seeking a position as a customer service representative in the financial services or investment industry”.

The above objective tells the reader the position and industry you are targeting.
