Current resume trends favor a ‘Branding statement’ over an objective.  A Branding statement includes the following: 

  • The job title- If you have not done the job title be creative!
  • What skills/attributes the job demands (details from company website and job description)
  • Skills/attributes that set you apart from everyone else
  • How you can benefit the employer

Example: “A skilled Carpenter with a focus on delivering the highest quality of workmanship that delivers a lasting product and sustainable customer relationships.”
