Even if you do, employers only look at it briefly anyway. Once you apply, they will call you for an interview and ask you what they really want to know. Impress them in the interview by showing them how much you want the job and tell them how hard of a worker you are. On your resume, include any school experiences, volunteer work, interests and activities, clubs, sports, awards, accomplishments, etc. You don't really need an "Objective" but you should include a cover letter, introducing yourself, explaining why you are interested in the job, telling them your hours available, etc. Good luck!
