What do you think of this resume objective?


Question:
To secure a position performing an administrative function; one that would apply my practical and formal knowledge of statistical analysis, operations management, economic principles, project management, organizational, and/or other developed skills, in a demanding, fast paced business environment. Proficient in Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, Excel and Access; familiar with familiar with Crystal Ball, Microsoft Project and Sagata Regression Forecasting Programs.

Answer:
It is way too long. You need to re-word it. How about the one below?

To acquire a challenging administrative position with a fast-paced firm by utilizing my solid knowledge of statistical analysis, economic principles, operations and project management.
Funny...but way too long...
I think it's way to long. In fact, I don't even think you need an objective.
Definately way too long!

Your objective should only be 1 to 2 sentences long and relate directly to the position for which you are applying.

This would work much better as a "Qualification Summary" rather than an objective.

Your skills are lost in this very lengthy objective. I would use this verbage in a cover letter or email if you are attaching your resume. If you want to highlight your skills, perhaps a bulleted listing of your skills at the start of the resume would accomplish that goal.

Objectives on resumes are not always necessary and if used should be tailored to each job for which you are applying.
It reads like you're rambling. You have good skills; I would remove the "administrative function" part, and just state your experience in whatever skills pertains to the particular job you are applying for at that time. This objective is too standard, and attempts to cover too many fields, and is not specific enough.
As the others said - way too long. Much of what you have included should be in the experience and skills part of your resume.

I would suggest: "To secure an administrative position in a challenging and fast paced business enviroment."

Keep in mind resumes should be fluid - you should tailor it to the company you are applying for - for example, lets say you want to work for a computer related company: "To secure a administrative in a challenging and fast paced hi-tech business enviroment." Or a company like Genetech: ""To secure a administrative in a challenging and fast paced bio-medical enviroment."

Hope this helps - good luck!
Objective should be short and to the point. Instead of secure, I think you should write "to be a good administrator".
Statistical analysis and econimic principles do not go with admin post.
Computer skills should not be part of objective.
You need not mention the demanding and fast paced environment.
Actually what you describe you are more suited to be a operational post or a statistician.
great!

just check this part if you already havent!

WAY TO LONG! I could turn that into my enitire resume! try putting Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, Excel and Access; familiar with familiar with Crystal Ball, Microsoft Project and Sagata Regression Forecasting Programs in an area like skills.
It looks like you are quoting all the subjects u studied at College!! Why not include the Computer knowledge part in the resume rather than in the objective? Instead you could elaborate on some admin functions if u have performed any in your earlier job.
It's too much
