- Say what license you hold or are testing for.
- Name the kind of job you want, not just "a driving job".
- Mention the single strongest thing you bring, even if it is not driving.
- Avoid asking for "growth opportunities" — it says nothing.
Frequently asked questions
Objective or summary?
Objective if you are new, changing segments, or returning after a break. Summary in every other case.
How long should an objective be?
One or two sentences. It sits above everything else on the page and it competes with your resume for attention.
