I need help with wiring a resume objective. I was a psychology major and I’m trying to get a job working with exceptional children in the school system.

Rather than a job objective, put a job title at the top of your resume. Research the school districts and find out what your job title would be. It may be Special Education Assistant, or Special Needs Teacher, or something similar. Then, right below it, provide a short summary explaining why you are qualified for that position. This is preferable than an objective, which merely describes what you want, rather than what you offer. See below for an example. Good luck!
SPECIAL EDUCATION ASSISTANT
Dedicated and resourceful psychology major with X years experience in child care, first aid and CPR certification, open availability during the school year, and a passion to work with exceptional children in the public school system.
