Your objective/profile is the most important part of your resume. Without that, people will wonder why you sent a document with work history on it. It’s also the first thing your prospective employer will read.
Often, most people make a huge mistake in creating their objective, saying that it’s something to the lines of “To have a job which challenges me and inspires me,” or other vague things like this. No, what you need to do is tailor-make an objective to the type of job you are pursuing.
For example: Let’s say you want to apply to a job with a blogging company as a blogger. You would put something similar to “Objective: A position as an author or contributing writer to a blog website.”
This gives the prospective employer a clear and concise look at what it is that you want from them. You could modify it a bit, but it would do for the basics.
Profiles are basically summaries of who you are. Im my opinion, these are weaker then objectives, because they basically summarize everything you need to leave the rest of your resume to explain, else the employer will get bored quickly. If you’re going to use a profile, at least create an objective within it.
