Canadian-Style Resume

Canadian employers expect a specific format and tone. Here are the key points of a strong Canadian resume:

• Header: your full name and contact details (city, phone number, and email).
• Core competencies: a short skills section grouped into technical knowledge, languages, computer skills, and soft skills.
• Work experience: listed from most recent to oldest, with company, job title, dates, and a description of your responsibilities. Use keywords from the job you are applying for.
• Achievements: concrete results under each role, not just duties.
• Education: degree, field of study, institution, and graduation date.
• Additional training: certificates, courses, and professional development.
• Format: simple, professional, and easy to read, with a standard font.
• Cover letter: always include one, explaining why you want the role and how your experience fits.
