Resume writing for a Canadian Company:
There is the concept that only those who have a lot of money, a high education and good work experience are eligible to go to Canada. That is not accurately true! A simple graduate can find a job in Canada. But it always starts with an excellent resume.
Canadian job market has its own standards when it comes to resume writing. The way a job seeker writes a resume should depend on the target company. Of course it is going to a Canadian Company, it should follow the standard that Canadian companies want to see and want to see a resume, or else, it will end up in a trash.
Canadian employers always like simple resume. Preferably, it should have 2-3 pages. If you are sending your resume electronically i.e. by email remember that always send your resume in MS word (.doc) format. Other formats can cause your CV not to open at employer’s PC.
Another advice to make your CV is that you do not use the built in templates of MS Word but try to make your resume format unique.
