is that correct
Apologies for the confusion, the correct answer is that a job objective states the position you are applying for and persuades the reader to hire you. It is a brief statement at the top of your resume that summarizes your goals and qualifications for the position. It helps to focus the reader's attention on what you are looking for and how you can contribute to the company.
