TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
You could state that you want to contribute something magnificent to a
company greatly in need of it. Of course you'd want to put it in tech
writer terms, but the idea is to make what you want compatible with what
the "buyer" wants. Even in traditional sales, presumably you want to make a
sale to someone who can really benefit from what you're selling -- then
it's win-win. Likewise with skill matching. Maybe you want to reinforce the
professional image of a company by producing world-class product user
documentation... or some such thing.

So... since the objective is typically an "I want" statement, what
should you use instead? Or should you eliminate the objective
altogether?
