Employers look for easy ways to weed through resumes. I once had a guy apply for two drastically different positions in the company and in his cover letter he asked to be considered for "the one that paid more." He may have been qualified for at least one of the positons, but I never even read his resume after that. You have to think from the employer's perspective: would you hirer someone who's resume basically says: if you're hiring, I'm applying/give me any job you have? I'd just go with multiple resumes, one for each general position: ie, a sales resumes with an objective as a sales associate or sales maneger AND emphasizing the sales experience in your previous positions. a customer service resume emphasizing interactions with customers, etc. Don't tailor just the objective. Also, unlike this answer, make sure to spell check your resume electronically, and then spell-check a printout manually. It is a lot more work with separate resumes, but compared to the potential payoff (a job), it is worth it. It is acceptable, but it is also a waste of your (and the employer’s time).

Leverage your experience in various domains and tailor your resume for specific positions. An objective statement in a resume is passé. Instead of writing an objective, write a strong summary of your experience, skills, and education, in your resume, that focuses on fulfilling the needs of the employer. Be sure to write a separate summary for each areas of your experience. Read the 10 Tips for Writing a Perfect Resume at: http://www.bukisa.com/articles/97116_10-… Best of luck!
