some call it an objective.

00:00:04.041 --> 00:00:07.991
Others call it a career goal,
an occupational goal or a job

00:00:08.026 --> 00:00:08.914
target.

00:00:08.949 --> 00:00:11.793
This part of your resume
describes what you want to be,

00:00:11.828 --> 00:00:14.808
not when you grow up, but in
the foreseeable future.

00:00:14.843 --> 00:00:18.652
The best objectives state both
a career field and an industry,

00:00:18.687 --> 00:00:21.493
such as public relations
director of a small

00:00:21.528 --> 00:00:25.004

aerospace industry.

00:00:26.482 --> 00:00:28.849
Remember not to aim too high,
too soon.
