Many years ago, when I was fresh out of college and writing my first résumé, I was instructed to include an objective; how else would my targeted employers know what my goal was? The first draft I wrote stated, “Objective: To find a position as an international traveler. No reports, no deadlines, extensive vacation time, and limitless expense account required.”

Through all the field work, across all the states and all the years, I think this is still my objective.

Have camera. Can write. Ready to go.
