i need help in creating my objective for my Resume

im trying to get a position of a system administrator, actually an assistant system adminstrator. I just dont know how to word it right.
The guy likes me and he wants to see my Resume.
I tried something like this but I cant finish it!
"To obtain an administrative position that allows me to learn new technologies while utilizing my past experience"
Is this good???

Keep the objective short (one or two sentences) and very general. Don't put anything into the objective that will give a prospective employer the idea that s/he shouldn't bother reading the rest of your resume. For example, if you mention a desire to work with Cisco and Novell technologies, but the employer is looking for a Bay Networks and Microsoft person, then you'll be out of luck. (Although this may not be a bad thing is you only work with Cisco/Novell.)
Some examples i pulled off the web:
To provide your organization with the best possible computer and systems administration, maintenance and support services.
Seeking a varied and diverse system administration or development position requiring new and creative applications of technology.
I am a talented, results-driven IT leader with versatile, cross-platform experience in systems/network architecture, installation, implementation, integration, security, and administration in local and remote environments for diverse client industries.

There is some truth to that, but often your resume is sent to whoever is hiring without the cover sheet, and the objective can be useful to get a glimpse at the person behind the resume. Objective statements are a catch-22, "damned if you don't, damned if you do."
Whatever strikes my fancy...
You will find that all standard resume format have an "objective" section. A resume without this section will appear non-standard and will possibly be judged as unprofessional.

Im going to try some of the words from your example.
I agree with you that all standard resumes have an objective format, and I have one on mine. I think that biggest complaint is that a few lines will take too much space away from the technical information that they could put on their resume. My opinion is that maybe they are putting too much info (useless fluff) in and they should cut it out and focus the resume to the specific job.
Whatever strikes my fancy...
Alternately, you can trim out all of the keywords for the technologies that you no longer wish to work in. I removed all mentions of DDE, OLE, MFC, HTML, and assembly language from my resume, and that opened up some space.
