What should I use as an objective on a resume?
I'm applying for a job as a concierge/errand person. I fucking suck at this kind of thing. Here are the required qualifications:
Organized
Great navigational skills in San Antonio
Customer service oriented
Background in hospitality
Basic MS Office Skills
"Can do" attitude and the ability to "think on your feet"
I don't want to make up some stupid bullshit about gaining navigational and driving skills while helping others in their day-to-day lives, but I can't think of anything else to put.

Re: What should I use as an objective on a resume?
You don't need an objective. However, if you insist on using one, have it detail that you wish to pursue fulltime, or part-time, employment in order to pursue a career within the industry.
Instead of using an objective, write a cover letter.

A concierge job usually isn't entry level; they're actually looking for people with experience within the field and locale.

Instead of using a one line objective, write a cover letter.

I always thought you needed an objective? Fuck, I suck at this.

Re: What should I use as an objective on a resume?
Ok.
What you need is a short resume that touches upon your education, work experience, volunteer work, and skills/certifications. Then, you need to write a simple paragraph cover letter that details why you're interested in the job and how you're qualified; be sure to include methods of contact in the cover letter and address it properly.
If you don't have volunteer work, don't worry about it.

Fuck it. Sorry, I'm just going to have a friend of mine make one for me. He made a really good one for my boyfriend, so hopefully he'll do the same for me.

Objective: To pursue a full time position in which I can apply my customer service and computer skills to gain advanced knowledge and more in depth skills

Re: What should I use as an objective on a resume?
If it's obvious that everyone lies their ass off with these resumes and oaths in the medical and working field why do we even require an answer other than "get money"? It's clear that no one can enter a workforce with an objective as they have not even met the team they will be working with. Damn we need human reform, such as a holocaust, immediately.

Re: What should I use as an objective on a resume?
Being a concierge can suck. My friend was one over here at the Marriott.
Dont get me wrong its great money when you got some young romantic couple on their honeymoon, and the groom is looking to impress the girl. So sometimes you feel like you helped someone out. But just some regular old business man who wants too much and is cheap, might make your job effort vs reward to small.
Your making reservations for people and such. Your basically their assistant. They tell you to get something, you get it. Sometimes it involves standing in like for 4 hours to get tickets to some show they wanna see, others its picking up their food from some corner deli that theyre fond of. We got six flags nearby, and the artists sometimes stay at the hotel here. So if your lucky enough to be assigned to someone rich (like my friend was) getting bottles of champagne and fetching their clothes and doing other weird requests and such really wont matter when they give you $400 tips.
Hope you know how to take orders from people, and always with a smile.
Also as any industry rule, if your hot and got tits, expect bigger tips.
