I’d nix it. I had one in mine in 2012 and several recruiters told me they don’t read them, just scroll past. As a hiring manager I usually skipped them. I always thought they were redundant.

Sorry nothing helpful to add here but I am also wondering what people think of this question. I actually wonder more about “summary” vs objective. Isn’t the objective pretty clear? To get a job!

In my current research I came across multiple results stating that objectives are out dated. I downloaded an app template to create my resume and this section was replaced by “Key Qualifications” to me this helps tailor the resume directly to the position you’re applying for. I advise you to research to confirm this. Best regards

I found out today the person who got hired to replace me is getting paid way more than me.
I’m leaving anyway in a few days but I feel really unappreciated. I changed my last date to train the new hire but now I want to stick to my official date which was Friday. Any thoughts?

My manager kept telling me how much he appreciate what I did for the team and he was only expecting less than 30% of what I do for them. I feel like he was lying and they wanted to pay more to get better applicants
