Best Answer:
Fortunately for you, I'm not spam :) Seriously though - rather than having an objective on your resume, tell the prospective employer who you are. Replace "objective" with "profile". It's non-threatening to employers and you'll look better doing it. Now, your question. Maybe I would rewrite your opening statement to the following - "Results-oriented, self-starting professional seeking a part-time position as an office administrator." Go on and list all of the things you can offer the prospective employer such as your shorthand skills, typing WPM (if impressive) or your excellent listening and commuication skills. Ideally, you want to sell yourself in that opening paragraph. If they don't like you, they won't read the resume anyway. If they do like what you wrote, they'll keep reading. Good luck!

What you have written belongs on a cover letter not trying to be harsh. A job objective gives an employer an overview of what you have to offer and are looking to accomplish. Try something generic like: To obtain a position in an office setting that will utilize my skills while allowing me to continue grow and advance within that company.
