Objective in CV/Resume

[Faefly]

Some of the professors that agreed to write me letters of recommendation asked for a CV. Also, one of the dentists who accepted to write me a LOR, he suggested I send him a CV.

• I don't know what to write in the CV objective!

I wrote something like a dedicated student seeks to become a dentist. I know it's bad. I just don't have anything in mind right now; I need your suggestions about the objectives. Some examples of objective or CV will be more than appreciated.

• Also, where to include tutoring experience, I did it for free, so should I include it in my volunteer section? Or in work experience, as I don't have any work experience only volunteering experience.

Volunteer is fine.

You don't have to put an objective in your CV. Should be obvious to the professors, since you already asked them to write rec letters for dental school. You can put your tutoring experience in either work or volunteer sections. Doesn't really matter. Try to make your CV look balanced and coherent.

You no longer have to put the objective statement on your resume/CV. By applying for a particular position, it is understood what your objective is. Objectives are still in cases of students with only internship experience looking for a job or another internship or in the case of professionals changing fields. However, try to write a statement detailing why you are qualified and what you can bring to them and their organization. This shouldn't be more that 3 sentences at the top.

Yes, you should include your tutoring experience if it is related to the position you are trying to get.
