FAQs: How do I create a resume in order to find a job in Canada?

When applying outside Canada, it’s imperative to know that you will find a job quicker with a Canadian-style resume.

- In Canada, never use a photo on your resume. You also never state your age. It’s irrelevant.
-Adapt your resume for each role.
Generic resumes do not work you’re applying to a company that isn’t stating a current opening.

- Also, remember to use your cover letter.

- The top 5 requirements listed on the Job Ad are typically more sought after.

Ensure that your resume speaks to the top requirements in particular by highlighting your past experiences and achievements.

- Keep your resume short. 1-2 pages long if possible.

However, don't sacrifice quality details, achievements and past relevant

experiences to make a resume short.

- You should include your volunteer experience if it relates to the job you are applying for in the section on work experience.

It does not matter if it was unpaid work.

- Added advantage if you include a link to your socials; LinkedIn
(if you have an online portfolio for your work), Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

- Format is critical. Top organisations have their favourite fonts including Aerial, SF Pro, and Calibri.

- It's important to use keywords in your resume chosen specifically to match what you see
in the job posting and on the company's website.

Recruiters sometimes do not read every word on each resume and rely on the keyword matches.

Keywords describe skills and qualifications.
