I have no idea how to do an objective for a career change.  I am currently an Underwriter and hope to get into Publishing.  I am also interested in an Editorial Assistant position and am willing to take a salary decrease!  If anyone has time, can  you please review my resume?  I know I have to somehow change my responsibilites to relate to publishing.  Is the font ok?  Thank you!
