look original. We suggest you read couple of
generalobjective statements, think on your own
what your objective is and come up with yourown
original objective statement.
2) Resume is too long? Resume is too short
An ideal resume should have only two pages. If
you have more than 10 years of workexperience,
you could have an additional page which makes it
three pages in total.Accommodate all your
information in two pages and remove irrelevant
information (egFathers name, native town etc)
Sometimes, your resume might be too short as well
wherein the recruiter is not able tofind
required amount of details. Include all required
