I’m not a big fan of the ‘Objective’ on resumes even though I see them all the time. The reason I don’t like them is because they usually don’t mean anything to me, i.e. they’re irrelevant. And if something on your resume is irrelevant to the person reviewing it, you shouldn't include it.

That’s all good and fine, and I’m not saying you shouldn't tout your achievements. But that’s what everyone does, and remember that your job in an interview is to separate yourself from other candidates. The way to do this is to use the word ‘we’ when referring to your past achievements and also when talking about the job you’re applying for. Here are two reasons why:
