How should I write this Career Objective for my resume?
impaKt asked:
The job is Coast Mountain Sports, it’s an outdoor specialty store that provides canoes, kayaks, outdoor clothing, camping equipment. This is what I have for my career objective/Opening statement:
Position as a Sales Associate where understanding of outdoor recreation will help benefit customers. Can demonstrate exceptional interpersonal and communication skills (greet, consult, up-sale); build positive, effective customer relationships.
The part I’m focusing on is this line:
”
Position as a Sales Associate where understanding of outdoor recreation will help benefit customers.”
The word recreation doesn’t seem to fit well, seeing from my description of the job, what would be a better word instead of recreation? I thought of “sports” but that’s too generalized.

First I’d probably either ditch help or benefit customers & would be more likely to delete help & keep benefit.
Outdoor Recreation substitute — outdoor activity? Sporting Goods?
Just a couple thoughts that came to mind.
Probably better to reword it a little. Maybe something like
” to use my knowledge of and experience in outdoor recreation and activities to provide customers with accurate information and service”
I dont think the word recreation sounds strange at all, i mean, essentially… thats what it is
Then probably use another paragraph to outline your customer service skills, customer interaction skills, ability to build rapport with customers etc, as that is more generalised.
Hope this helps!
you could get a great objective from monster.com the resume section its great trust me do some research
In the objective, you should:
+ Specify your target industry
+ Make your statement broad enough to cover more than one type of work or position.
For example this is what you could say as your objective: To obtain a challenging position in marketing, in a store specializing in recreational and outdoor sports equipment, where I can utilize my education and experience.
Peace and blessings!
