What to put as an objective on a resume for a receptionist job?
Asked by omg
I am trying to get a job as a receptionist I have never done this before but I do have office experience and bookkeeping. What should I use as an objective or what can I say on my resume?

Best Answer:
You don't need that line. I have typed resumes for my husband and acquaintances, in the past, and I have always left that part off the resume completely. Don't leave it blank... just take it off the resume! Believe it or not, if you're applying for a specific job, and you fill out an application, you'll be filling that part in on the application. They will know what your objective is!

You can put down that you are looking for a full time job that challenges you every day...

You want to express the goals (objectives) you have; and the expectations within the right company where your office experience and bookkeeping skills can be utilized to capacity and at the same time be an asset to them.

In my experience, I started at a company as a receptionist and began working my way up the ladder to now when I'm running the entire office. Companies like when they can promote within rather than hire from outside the company. If you stress that you're looking to start entry-level and work you way up, it will make you sound hard-working, dedicated and motivated. Good luck!
