Step 3Your Job Objective

This should be no more than two sentences and should be specific according to the job.

If your field is quite targeted and focused, so should your objective. If the field is much more broad or entry level, your objective should be equally broad and less concise.

Summary of Qualifications

List Your Work Experience

List your work experience- beginning with most recent.

You should try to list your last 7 years of work experience. If your last 7 years has been in the same role, you may want to include the one prior.

Be sure to include your accomplishments within each position.
