8 ways to manage your digital job search

4. Skip the objective

So many job seekers write an objective on their resume, many of whom even state the position they desire: "Seeking an Analyst role: Seeking an Accountant role", etc. When you do this, you are basically telling the employer, "this is what I want." So, if the employer doesn't have that job you are targeting, they are most likely not going to cross reference you for other roles they may have - because you told them exactly what you want! Let the employer decide where you'll be the best fit - and let them cross reference you for other positions.
