Default Resume help

What works for the "Objective" part of the resume?

I assume "To do as little work, for as much pay as possible" would not go over very well

It will be a resume for cellular sales/repair, or computer data entry grunt work.

I would never use the templates

create a letter of application after the cover page

1. Cover Page
2. Letter of application
3. Resume

"Insert bullshit response that'll go over well with management here"

Or if you prefer the direct approach:

"money and bitches, foo"

i have never put an objective line on my resume. doesnt seem to work and if i was interviewing you i wouldnt even look. I am sure most interviewers already think of you, "no work = shit ton pay." plus they will ask you what your goals and crap is regardless.

so it would probably be more beneficial to place relevant work xp in those 2 extra lines you are going to have.
