The objective statement, often featured at the top of an American resume, is meant to show employers exactly what a candidate wants. Instead, it is usually the lamest and most artificial part of what is already an already unbearably self-promoting document.
While a true objective statement might say something like this:
"To find a high-paying job where I won't be treated like a kid and won't have to do a lot of stuff I don't like"
Most sound something like this:
"To find* a position in a professional environment that will utilize my organizational, communication, and technical skills."
*Extra points for "procure"
I have absolutely no expertise in HR and taking my advice is not likely to help you, but for the sake of good language, I think the objective statement should say exactly what you want or not be there at all.
