99.99% of the time, the resume you are building will be used to apply for a specific position. You are just restating that you are interested in the position you are applying to which the recruiter and hiring manager already know.
The total experience and skills mentioned in the career objective are anyways mentioned in the career summary and skills section
In a one page resume, a resume objective with header and a two liner eat up 10%-15% of the resume space.
To summarise, career objective in a resume does not help your candidature in any way. The recruiter and hiring manager is only interested in the work you have done in the past and do not care about your career objective.
