OBJECTIVE

Be as specific as you can around what you can bring to the company, not what the company can give to you.  It is best to customize this section for each job you apply for.

PROFILE

Hit the high points of your career and/or training – points that are relative or applicable to the position you seek. Best to limit this section to five lines or less – this should be a summary ( i.e. the back cover of a book – not the book). Likewise, it is best to tailor this section specifically for the job you want to be considered for.
