if at the end of an interview, the interviewer criticizes your resume, is that a deal breaker?

At the end of the interview I gave him a copy of my resume with references in it. He looked at the objective statement and told me I should have tried to write something better than ';An entry level [field of interest] position.'; He was very polite and did not seem upset.



I thanked him for his honesty and his criticism.



What do you make of this? Am I a fool for thinking I still have a chance to work for this guy? Is it likely that he was just testing my reaction?
