Tips for a Canadian Resume

Tips for a Canadian Resume: Keep it short: Ideally, 2 pages for experienced professionals and 1 page for new graduates or those with less experience. Use a clean, professional format. Customize your resume for each job application, highlighting relevant skills and experiences. Avoid including personal information such as age, marital status, or a photo unless specifically requested. Ensure there are no spelling or grammar errors; consider having someone else review it. Remember, the goal of the resume is to get an interview, not to get the job (that's the next step!).  Tailor your content to showcase how you're the best fit for the position.
