Resumes differ greatly around the world, and in Canada there are best practices that might differ from resumes in other countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below is a list of do&#8217;s and don&#8217;ts to help you build your best resume to appeal to Canadian employers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do&#8217;s<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><b>1. Research, research, research<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Position titles vary between countries and companies. In Canada, and especially in Ontario, certain professions are highly regulated. This can mean if you&#8217;re an engineer in China, you may not be recognized as such in Canada. The Government of Canada uses a National Occupation Classification Code (NOC Code) system to categorize jobs based on the type of work a person does and the types of job duties. Find your NOC Code <a href=\"https:\/\/www.canada.ca\/en\/immigration-refugees-citizenship\/services\/immigrate-canada\/express-entry\/eligibility\/find-national-occupation-code.html\">here<\/a> to determine your job title, code and skill level. It is also helpful to research positions at the company you&#8217;re interested in or applying to as they may have different or unusual naming conventions for job titles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>2. Keep it brief<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The general rule is to keep a resume to two pages, but depending on your experience it could be up to three pages. Many employers have to skim through hundreds or thousands of applications so you want to make sure you get straight to the point. &#8220;The more information you can provide and the quicker you can offer it, the better off you&#8217;ll be,&#8221; says Noah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>3. Highlight your accomplishments<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When writing about your work experience, list the impactful things you have done throughout your career rather than generic descriptions of your job titles. Noah suggests following a formula called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.algonquincollege.com\/coop\/2016\/08\/using-star-method-ace-interview\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">STAR<\/a> (Situation, Task, Action, Result). Essentially, you want to describe the situation, your responsibilities, what you did and why it worked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;You&#8217;re trying to portray what you offered to the company. Not every line has to be like that but the description should not only be a list of duties,&#8221; he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, you want to devote a section of your resume to awards, education, certifications and any other accomplishments. Noah encourages saving the last line for your hobbies and interests. &#8220;Even if they don&#8217;t sound that important, they could be. You never know what connection may come out of those.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>4. Include basic personal information only<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The key word here is basic. Although it might be commonplace in other countries, employers in Canada are not allowed to ask for extensive personal information upon application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Include your full name, phone number (ideally a local, Canadian number) and email address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You are not required to submit a picture or include your marital status or religion. There is no need to include expected salary in your resume \u2014 that&#8217;s something that can be negotiated later on in the hiring process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large  mar-b-hlf\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbc.com\/newcomers\/_assets-custom\/pdf\/Finding-a-Job-Guide-for-Newcomers.pdf\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"512\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rbcroyalbank.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2024\/05\/113076-WEB_131870_Newcomer_Job_0924_E.jpg?quality=80&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"Newcomer\u2019s guide\nto finding a job in Canada \" class=\"wp-image-90169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rbcroyalbank.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2024\/05\/113076-WEB_131870_Newcomer_Job_0924_E.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/www.rbcroyalbank.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2024\/05\/113076-WEB_131870_Newcomer_Job_0924_E.jpg?resize=300,150 300w, https:\/\/www.rbcroyalbank.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2024\/05\/113076-WEB_131870_Newcomer_Job_0924_E.jpg?resize=768,384 768w, https:\/\/www.rbcroyalbank.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2024\/05\/113076-WEB_131870_Newcomer_Job_0924_E.jpg?resize=1024,512 1024w, https:\/\/www.rbcroyalbank.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2024\/05\/113076-WEB_131870_Newcomer_Job_0924_E.jpg?resize=1536,768 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don&#8217;ts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><b>1. Don&#8217;t sell yourself short<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The resume is about you, not your company. Don&#8217;t be afraid to promote yourself as the most desirable candidate of the bunch. &#8220;The resumes we look at [in Canada] are about your accomplishments &#8211; what did you do, not what your team did.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>2. Don&#8217;t make one generic resume<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tailor your resume to best fit with the company you are applying to. &#8220;Each resume is specific. One size doesn&#8217;t fit all,&#8221; says Noah. Highlight how your strengths and experiences can help that company. This is another reason to do thorough research on the company beforehand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>3. Don&#8217;t give up<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember: the job market can be competitive and finding the right role may take some time. There are plenty of sites to help you find the perfect job. Some examples are: <a href=\"http:\/\/ontariojobswatcher.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ontario Jobs Watcher<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.canadajobs.com\/\" data-dig-id=\"LP-57558-6c5ca67e\" data-dig-label=\"CanadianJobs.com\" data-dig-action=\"link click\" data-dig-category=\"LP\" class=\"rbc-link-format\">CanadianJobs.com<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.monster.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Monster<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.workopolis.com\/\" class=\"rbc-link-format\">Workopolis<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jobbank.gc.ca\/home-eng.do?lang=eng\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Job Bank<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gojobs.gov.on.ca\/Search.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ontario Public Service Careers<\/a> and recruitment section of different companies (like <a href=\"https:\/\/jobs.rbc.com\/ca\/en\/?utm_source=Discover-Learn&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=dl-133210\">Jobs at RBC<\/a>) .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, Noah says it&#8217;s worth taking the time to write a cover letter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;You never know who reads them or if they read them at all,&#8221; he says. &#8220;But it&#8217;s like an interview.
