I've been an EA at my current job for 13+ years I'm currently looking at changing jobs and have noticed that on a number of company websites they are asking for "Career Objectives". Any suggestion on how to address this do I refer to the posting or put done what I’m looking for?

Thanks,

Good question! Personally, I think you want to do a little of both. You want to share your personal and professional goals, and explain how this particular position would be a good match for those goals. I think that any company asking about career objectives is probably looking for long-term employees who can grow with the company. They want to make sure that applicants have the desire to build their careers and that the company has the ability to meet their goals. Good luck!

I agree with Chrissy. I think the company is probably looking for people with goals and objectives that match their company culture. It's incredibly difficult to continually train revolving door staff so they want to know you're in it for the long haul; not just to get you to the next step. Fuse your career objectives with the company's to make you seem like the perfect fit.
