I have a minor disagreement with the "Objective" section. I use mine as a (relatively) succinct window into my personality, goals, and ambitions: mine is a bit silly, but honest, and informative. If they don't like what I say in my objective, they will not want to hire me, and I wouldn't want to work there.

I use mine as both information, and a "gatekeeper" of sorts, and I believe it's saved everyone involved a fair amount of time in the long run. If they like it, and my skills or aptitude match what they're looking for, it's probably a good fit on multiple levels.

That said: it's a minor disagreement. For most people it probably isn't quite as functional--but I'm a unique snowflake ;)
