i am filling out job apps, looking forsomething in boulder so i have a job to move too.

on one app (for a parks and rec job), one part says: OBJECTIVE- state your objective.

I personally would use that Objective area to state in 1 or 2 sentances what you will do in the job, it's your opportunity to state how your specific skills will be applied in the job.

Since I don't know anything about the job you're applying for, here is a really generic job objective for a parks job

In the role of the park manager I would like to use my skills in parks development and marketing to increase usership of Colorado state park. I believe I could also apply my specific landscape architechural knowledge to develop and maintain the currently undeveloped areas of the park.

I'm no expert on resume writing but those are my two cents.

What you want to accomplish in an overall sense if you were to get this specific job.

I would incorporate it with long term personal plans. Why are you pursuing this opportunity? What do you hope to accomplish?

Some organizations are looking for ladder climbers. Some are looking for slow and steady. Some are trying to ID future leadership. This is their way of asking to see which you are.

Going for a nice recovery ride or run would likely give you plenty of time to think about some of your answers!!

Unfortunately, those things can be one of the most important single sheets of paper in one's life.

Don't forget to hit the spell check button!
