KKenner commented on Tony Hogeveen's blog post 'Why Your Resume Objective Can be an Instant Fail'"Tony, I agree with Sandra. For example, I would add, a career changer(they have been a RN, and now they are seeking more Administrative roles, etc), or something highly technical. Otherwise, I would rather see, and so would the hiring managers, a…"
