What should my resume include?

What objectives should I include in my resume?

• I am writing a resume for a position in the clothing department in superstore. I was wondering what objectives I should put in my resume. So far I have: 1. To obtain a position in the department that I would like to expand my knowledge 2. Obtain employment in a area that I would enjoy working What other objectives should I put in order to get a job in the clothing department. I have no experience what so ever. So please help me, I am very stuck because this is my first time applying for a job and writing a convincing resume that will employ me into my desired position. Thank you for your assistance!

• Answer:

  It would be better not to list any objective(s) at all. Today's resumes are a lot different than the old standard. 1-Place all your contact info in the header with your name in a large print. 2-If you have worked at all, list your jobs and what you did at each one. If you haven't had paid employment, list your responsibilities in a club, help you have given others, and any volunteer work or things like team captain, secretary etc. 3-Make sure you use all past tense verbs in whatever you did like organized, purchased, created. 4-Have someone look over your resume and make sure everything is spelled correctly. Good Luck! 3-
