And here's a thread on how to answer interview questions for those asking:
- 6 Types of resumes
- Contents of such resumes, and
- Best fonts to use on your resumé
1. Targeted resume:
This is something you already know. When you update your resume based on researching a particular role or company then you've created a targeted resumé.
Targeted resumes use key phrases and words to align your resume with an advertised role.
For a targeted resumé:
-research the role advertised
-watch out for phrases and keywords
-identify words and phrases that align with you
-update your current resumé to align with role and org
Targeted resumés are time-consuming but help in bypassing Applicant Tracking Systems.
- Accounting/Finance
- Architecture/Design
- Aviation
- Bank/Insurance
- Engineering
- Education
- Health
- HR
- Community / NGO
It is important to note that some jobs require certifications to practice while some are not legally required. However, having a certification 'might' increase chances.
Look through the website and contact if you have questions. Especially if it can be issued outside Canada.
ACCOUNTING & FINANCE
1. CPA (Chattered Professional Accountant): The CPAs are recognized as some of the best Canadian accountants.
1. Canada is not a polygamous country. It is illegal to be married to more than 1 spouse at a time. So, if you are married to 2 wives/husbands, only 1 can migrate with you & you must be divorced from the other.
2. If you have a girlfriend/boyfriend that you have been living with you both can claim Common Law & can apply to Canada together.
A common-law relationship exists from the day both of you can provide evidence to support that your cohabitation is a conjugal relationship.
3. Canada doesn't recognize a marriage by proxy (with the exemption of Canadian Forces members). If both of you are not physically present during your ceremony, the marriage will not stand.
For instance, 1 spouse in Canada and the other in Kenya when the ceremony took place.
