I Need Resume Writing Tips?
Do I have to start with an objective or no if not how should I start it? I just recently got my associates in business administration with no experience in the field given my current job so I am looking for entry level work.

Because you’re a new grad, and you mention having no experience in the field, yes, definitely use an objective. Using a resume without one can actually hinder your efforts. The top section of any resume is the prime portion of the resume that tells HR managers and recruiters what you’re pursuing, so definitely leverage it.
WHAT SHOULD YOU INCLUDE?
When no work experience (or relevant work experience) is available, it’s important to still show a “bridge” between what you’re doing now, or in your case, your academic achievement, to what you plan to pursue. For example, let’s say you’re going after a customer service position (you mentioned targeting something entry-level, so I hope I’m somewhat on track here.)
SAMPLE OBJECTIVE STATEMENT
Customer service positions focus on a variety of core business areas, so a probable objective statement might start out …
“Academically trained to handle management tasks, customer service and relationship building, and financial administration (i.e. accounts receivable, account payable). Perfect professional to fulfill different internal roles, such as administrative assistant, customer service clerk, financial administrator, or a management liaison role. Hold the foundation to perform comfortably within a support or specialty position, performing as-needed projects and reporting responsibilities.”
Of course, you don’t need to stick with the above, but it should give you a bit of inspiration to help you build an intro statement for your resume.
Good luck to you!

Start with a goal..think where do I wanna be in 5 years, 10 years. Be realistic! Then just brainstorm all the skills qualities and experience that you may need to get there and then match with your education. Job ads can give great clues as to what they are looking for…Your current job may still give you skills in time management, punctuality, meeting deadlines etc etc……….
