you have to use the "right" phrases ("career" instead of "job", "contribute" instead of "work"), include "buzzwords", create a "hook", use it as more space to sell your skills but somehow try to get in a word about what you want to do (taking care to veer toward "hirable" and away from "demanding"), sound stable and levelheaded but not boring, and just go ahead and invoke "travel opportunities" because you never know.
well, screw all of that. the nebulous, post-college quivers about writing job objectives are over.
this is what i want in a job. and i mean it.
- To live my passion for writing daily in my work, as part of an inspiring and powerful creative team that confronts challenges head-on and makes creative miracles happen
- To contribute my ability to create, plan, execute and deliver effective communication solutions to a broadcast network or advertising organization as a copywriter
- To see my ideas come to life in a multicultural work environment that promotes creativity, vitality and dynamism.
absolutely no brain cells were harmed in the writing of this job objective. who knew it could be so easy?
and if the person reading it doesn't like it, then by all means, on to the next! who says only employers get to do the weeding out? ;-)
