Yeah. What's wrong with spelling out what you want and can do right
up-front, executive-summary like? Besides, don't employers look for it?
Here's my thought about this slogan thing:

"Hire ME!"

There's not even room for split infinitives, dangling participles, or
two spaces after a period, and other mission-critical items, in that
one.

Cheers,

Sean

Ugh. Does anyone really include an objective anymore? And if so, what's
a good reason? From my perspective, I can't imagine using up space
(especially at the very beginning!) that I could use for info about my
background. I suppose I've replaced the objective (which I've always
avoided because I hated writing them!) with a title (which goes up with
my name and doesn't take away any vertical space.
