The real question is whether you even need an objective. When I teach job hunting, I tell my students that an objective that's too broad is a waste of space.
For example, "I would like a challenging position that uses my skills." Well who doesn't! This is simply a given.
But something like "Looking for part-time employment." or "Seeking employment in Customer Service." are perfectly OK. Why? Because the part-time one tells the employer that you're not looking for full-time work so I won't throw that your way. And the customer service one tells me you don't want a sales job, so I won't give you anything except customer service.
But if you're wide open as to the kind of work you're seeking, then I would suggest leaving it off. If you're called for something that you don't particularily like, then you can pass on it.
I always leave the objective blank and fill it in for each position I apply for. Each one should have a specific objective created to get that specific job. The objective can take the key points direct from the job posting and address how your skills can, from a very high level, fulfill their needs.

Good luck.
Be sure to use the spell check when you type your resume because they are not impressed with misspellings. It's decent, by the way, not descent.
