The hiring process is highly subjective, much like graphic design. Interviewers and hiring managers can only work with what is in front of them, and they will be making a judgment call against hundreds of comparison points. In addition to your portfolio, your resume must also stand out. One way to accomplish this is to use an engaging and appealing objective statement.
Whether you are an aspiring or veteran graphic designer, here are some sample objective statements you can use on your resume to impress potential employers.
