I've never used an objective statement. Every example
I've seen has always seemed so dumb. However, if the
idea is to give the HR clerk something to key on, I'm
covered. Right under my name it says: Technical
Writing and Information Design. That should be a
clue.
Immediately under that are sections for Skills, Tools,
and a Portfolio note as to the kinds of docs I've
produced.
Now maybe that all adds up to an objective statement.
It seems to cover the needs defined so far.
