I do disagree with the use of an objective statement. I would not waste my time and space on the resume with it. It is better to use the space to list your skills or accomplishments. As far a objective is concerned it can only hurt you. If you have as your objective a lab tech and you are applying drafting job just to get your foot in the door you are not going to get the job. As someone looking at a resume I already know what your objective is. You have applied to the job. Perhaps you have driven miles. You want a job. People make a mistake of sending different resumes to different organizations. I have received the same persons resume in six different forms. This guy was not called for an interview.
