Fewer and fewer job seekers are including a career objective on their resumes. The trend to omit a career objective stems from recent research showing that candidates have a better chance to be interviewed if they write their resumes to help an employer fill an open position (which is what the employer wants), not to tell the employer what they want. However, many job seekers still include it along with a professional summary, especially if they are new to the workforce. Note that whether employers expect to see a career objective on your resume is partly dependent upon your field. In some fields, like education, job applicants are still expected to include an objective.
