Hi Folks, Below is what I have in my resume "Objective To work as an Information Security Professional at Inc. and put my technical experience and professional skills to best use. - - - - References Available on request." 1. Do you think it makes sense to have an objective & references? 2. If yes, does the one mentioned above look good enough? 3. If no, kindly share anything that looks impressive. comments welcome have a nice day!
Everything happens for a good reason! Don't question it. Just accept it

Unless you need filler, no one really uses an "Objective" section anymore, since your objective is to get that job obviously and the references part is usually assumed. -

Also the cover letter could be used to post some objective oriented specifics (if necessary). Thank you.Everything happens for a good reason! Don't question it. Just accept it

I don't list any references on my resume.
I'll print out a list of three or four references just in case I'm asked to provide them during an interview, but aside from that, I won't mention them unless asked.Usus magister est optimus
