That is a LOT of money! I do blame a company that tries to rake in that kind of a buck off the backs of the unemployed. That's just wrong. Wow! Someone once tried to advise my husband to add this "objectives" section to his resume. She worked in HR (upper level) and was very adamant about it. I told him I didn't think it made sense for his resume. Jeanne Jobmom,

Isn't the objective always to find a fulfilling job in your field of interest? And your resume should already be a summary of your experience!
