The modern resume

[msmemory_archive]

I know what my biases are, but I haven't interviewed anywhere lately, and haven't interviewed more than a dozen candidates or so for my employer.

On objectives: even though a lot of people recommend that you have one on your resume, to my mind it falls more properly into the category of things you discuss in a cover letter.

Agreed. I think most people assume your underlying objective is to get the job, so it's better to work in any other objectives into the cover letter. You can better explain your impetus and your motivators in a cover letter, and leave more room in the resume to explain your qualifications and competencies.
