Overview: It's not just about what you want from a job, a company or a career. It's about what you have to offer. And that's why topping your resume with a headline instead of an objective is a better way of selling yourself to potential employers. Very often job seekers will write one resume with one objective that is too specific and send it out to jobs that don't even fit the objective. And while objectives rarely cause a person to lose out on an opportunity, it will probably cause the recruiter to scratch his head and wonder if you are lazy or not smart enough to know better.
