First tip:
In Canada, it is not 'CV' but it is 'Resume'

Second tip:
You call that piece of paper Resume but don't write "Resume" on top of paper.

Hi there,

I agree with Sanjeev that you should stop calling it CV because to most Canadians it means absolutely nothing.

One of our members, Chris, has been kind enough to post his resume for others benefit. You can view it here

http://www.canadiandesi.com/read.php?TID=4271

Also, you may get information by searching the forum for posts with subject "resume" (use the SEARCH IN CHARCHA feature). A bit of research on the site and on career sites like Monster will give you a really good idea of what it requires. You may want to browse the Success Stories for tips too.

Its a myth that there's one standard prescribed Canadian format for a resume which will guarantee success. No such thing that I know of. Making a good resume is a continual process of refinement and you'll just know when you have one that works for you.

Are you there?
