While it's true that brevity is an asset in resumes, you might reconsider the previous advice. A brief resume isn't much good if it doesn't really convey what you did - a simple list of task titles isn't really what most personnel officers are looking for. Also, a good objective up front like the suggested one shows displays what you're looking for in a job.
