What if I'm not looking for a "9-5" job? Should I communicate that fact in my resume or cover letter? By Anne McKinney, Prep Publishing The main purpose of a resume is to clarify exactly how you can help the organization and what services you feel you can provide. The resume should be a place to show off your honors, achievements, and strengths. The objective of such a resume could possibly be phrased like this: OBJECTIVE I want to contribute to an organization that can use a creative accounting professional who offers a proven ability to reduce costs and improve profitability through applying my strong computer operations skills and in-depth experience with multiple industries. Notice that the Objective above does not reveal that the individual would prefer at-home work or work as an independent subcontractor. You could identify even in the Objective that you are seeking at-home work only, but sometimes an employer--after he/she meets you--will consider changing a job normally done full-time into a job done outside the office. The cover letter is also an appropriate place to let the reader know that you are open to freelance work and positions as an independent subcontractor. In other words, you could present yourself on your resume so that you appeal to employers who want a full-time or freelance or part-time employee, since your goal is to “blow the maximum number of doors open.” You might want to have two different versions of the cover letter--one version that clearly indicates that you are seeking assignments as a “stringer” or freelancer, and another version that does not indicate your narrow preference for part-time or freelance work.
