I shouldn't hold my breath for an interview right

[madringal]

I just applied for my dream job.  It would be perfect for me, great benefits, and these types of positions are very rare in my area.

I uploaded a resume w/o updating the objective, so of course it is for a different job.  I want to cry.  I tried to go back in but it won't let me change my uploaded documents.  They will never call me, right?

Can you upload it again? Using a different email or whatever login they have, like changing a letter or middle initial?  A lot of those things are not read by actual persons, but are computer search engine things. Uploading a new one, with the right objective might go unnoticed.

I wouldn't worry too much about your objective if you have the right experience! Good Luck. I hope they call you for an interview. I once sent out a massive amount of resumes and didn't realize I sent one to the wrong type of firm. They called me for an interview! They wanted to know why I was interested in their type of firm.

When I review resumes I don't care what your objective says. As long as it is somewhat related to the job and your skills are a good match I think you'll be fine. Good luck!!!

I think that objectives are becoming dated so some HR people don't even pay attention to them. I hope that is the case here!

I would call HR. At some places HR gets them before the hiring manager does, so maybe they could help you change it?

I would try to find a recruiter and provide an updated version.

For future reference, remove your objective. It wastes precious space--everyone knows your objective is to get a job.

That's what I am gathering. I haven't applied for a job in 10 years! This is all so new to me!

Do some research before going any further. Having an objective at all is not going to help you. Possibly even hurt because you look out of touch.
