Include Overview/Objective in Consulting Resume

In need of some guidance...

Almost a year into my consulting career and polishing up my resume if I decide to make a transition and apply to other management and/or strategy consulting firms.

Is is recommended to add an objective/overview on the top of my resume? Or is that usually not advisable?

Thank you!
