resume question, need help please

Describe 3 achievements that are important to your career objectives.

Does that mean three things I've DONE that are important to my career objectives? Or three things I want to achieve as a result of my career objectives?

Anybody?

Three things that support your career objectives.

I want to be a fire fighter so I went to training camp, interned at Firehouse 101, and watched Backdraft 152 times.

But with more detail. :)

THANK YOU. So, the fact that I'm a fast, accurate typist, and have good oral and written communication skills -- those would be achievements, yes?

I think you need more "provable" things. Like...I can type 85 WPM, I've taken a public speaking class, I've written numerous corporate memos, etc. (Those are awful examples, but you get the point!)

No, those are good examples, because it gives me something to go with :) thank you!

Haha. The key in resumes is to figure out what they want to hear and then shape your factual information to say it. True stuff! :)
