how does this sound for a resume objective?

Seeking a technically oriented summer internship in the financial or consulting industry

Don't. Make your objective, well, more objective oriented towards the company or position you're looking for. Focus!

seems like its a bit short, but concise.

Once you have gotten into a career it is unnessisary

Objective: Sex in the copy room. Oh yeahhh.

Should be changed, don't focus it on a particular company's interest

It depends who you ask....

I personally think they waste space....even so...i was forced (really forced by my advisor) to put on down on my resume

generic is what makes objective statements bad... be direct. be specific, detailed, and precise.

Make 2-3 completely different objective statements if necessary, and make 10 resumees of each. Then use each one accordingly, depending on the type of company you are giving them out to.

Objectives are a waste of space.

I hate resume objectives. I've always just kept it general and concise. I've never tailored it to fit a certain position or company.

If you're applying for a specific job, there isn't any reason to have one, is there?
I could see if you're just putting in a resume to various places it might be handy so they know what you want to do there.
