How could I write my objective for my resume properly?

Is her advice write an paragraph long objective on my resume right?

• I"m currently writing a resume to apply for a job a Quintiles. I currently work as a temp, and my job will be expiring. My boss thinks I should try to get a job at Quintiles where his wife works. She asked to see my resume and rewrote it for me (which was nice of her). However, she place a long paragraph under the objective that sounds more like a cover letter than a objective for a resume. Should I stick to what she wrote because she is an insider in this company that i'm applying for or change it? Here is what she wrote. I a was always told to keep my objective to 1-2 sentences. "I am applying for the XXX position at Quintiles. I believe that I am a strong candidate for this position based on my background and skill set. I am organized, detail-oriented, and enjoy working in a team environment. In my work, I have exceeded performance standards, taken ownership for my actions, and been committed to doing whatever was necessary to meet the needs of the team. My manager and colleagues regularly express their appreciation for my dedication and enthusiasm. I was recently certified in Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and understand the standards on how clinical trials should be conducted, and the roles and responsibilities of clinical trial sponsors, clinical research investigators, and monitors. I know that Quintiles is a highly respected Contract Research Organization that significantly contributes to the development of drugs to improve patient care and I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to be a member of your team. Thank you for your time and consideration. "

• Answer:

  I thnk you're right, your resume should be something that you could give to any company but specifically mentioning Quintiles in the objective makes it applicable only to them, which I think is a bad idea. What she wrote is very good, but yes I think it's in the wrong place. You could leave in most of the middle section but take out the start and end parts where it mentions Quintiles.
