Hi guys, lets work together here. If you happen to be an employer, and you have a pile of CVs in front of you, all you need to do is to find reasons why you need to reject 985 CVs out of about 1,000.
So, tell me: from the above mission statement, what would you find: A good reason to accept it for further consideration, or reasons to squeeze it and dump in the waste bin?
Lets work together and refine the above statement. We can do this. :good:

Please share...

As an erudite professor, I'd rather say that this career objective is sooo disappointing. Your CV is not supposed to be a child's play. This job seeker is not organised, and he does not even know the importance of what he is writing. Am sure he never gave this to anybody to proof-read. The grammartical blunders therein are sufficient reasons to squeeze the CV and throw it into a waste bin.
Lets work on that first. :what:

This thread was created to generate collective contributions needed to get a better career statement out of the blunder. Rather than raining criticisms and stopping there, lets submit suggestions. Thank you. :cool:

How about:
A self-motivated and hardworking young man/lady ready to learn and adapt easily, and capable of working under pressure with tolerance and discipline.
Beat that! :w':

The CV will most likely land in waste bin due to grammatical blunder.

The grammatical blunder is sufficient basis for disqualification.
