Written on 6:51 AM by Gabi

Here are couple of resume structures type and important things to have in mind when choosing one. More related resume editing and writing in the write column box.

CHRONOLOGICAL RESUME -
Advantages * It is easier to prepare * Employers like this format because it tells them what, where and when you did the work * emphasizes work history * It is a good approach if your job history shows growth and development * Ideal if continuing in the same field as previous jobs - Disadvantages * Not ideal format if looking for a first job or making a career change * Reveals gaps, frequent job changes and absences from the job market

FUNCTIONAL RESUME - Advantages * Emphasizes relevant skills acquired through various experiences * De-emphasizes where your experience was obtained * Good format for your first job or a career change * Best for those who have been absent from the market for an extended period of time * Plays down gaps in work history and makes frequent job changes less noticeable - Disadvantages * Not as useful if you have a limited number of skills * Employment history is not highlighted * Progression within your career is not emphasized

COMBINED RESUME - Advantages * Allows you to emphasize skills acquired through various experiences * Satisfies the employer's desire for more information in the Work History section * Lets you to be more creative in arranging and presenting important information * Effective for more job seekers - Disadvantages * Not as effective if there have been lengthy gaps between jobs or you are making a career change * Takes longer to read because it contains both skills and work history

Job Resume Writing for Immigrants. How To Get Hired as Newcomers in Canada or USA.

Written on 8:48 AM by Gabi

As an immigrant I had to go through the whole learning process of a job finding race. My adviser teach me things without which I could’t survive. For the first couple of months after my arrival in Canada, I was still dizzy with all the incoming information and I had no possibility to make any difference between the good quality ones and the useless ones. My first action as a job seeker was to contact the recruitment agencies and arrange meetings with them. I was seeking for an office assistant, probably an entry level job to start with. And so I did for around 3 months with absolutely 0 results. I realized that I do not have a good approaching technique and I need to know where I did wrong. Lucky me, I knew some guy in Toronto who was in the HR business and I asked him to look over my resume. It was exactly the same resume I have been sending to the recruiters with no good feed backs. The resume was so bad that could rapidly end up in a garbage bin. My resume writing style was totally wrong. I told him that I used MS Word for writing the resume by editing a template that I downloaded from some web site with resume samples. The guy told me something that I will later realize as the number 1 essential thing that you have to concentrate when writing resumes. He said that is not always about what you write down on the resume but it is about how you do it. I decided to have him rebuilt my resume from scratch but unfortunately was quite expensive for me as an immigrant with absolutely no source of income. I had to borrow money so I can invest in myself and be able to have real chances of being hired. I needed a job as fast as possible. Ruffly I paid him something like $150 for writing the resume and around $75 for the job interview preparation. He teach me things I would’t ever imagine that will count for an HR manager. He redid my resume in such way, even me, a totally amateur, I could see a very big difference. I learned why recruiters ask the job seeker apparently non sense questions and I knew what to answer to such tricks. I soon started to learn the very basics of body language so I know how to increase my hiring chances. I learned so many things about resumes and the job interview secrets that I did not even dreamed about.
No doubt, shortly I got hired by Best Buy Canada. I soon started to pay back the money I borrowed and make my own money.

The technology has been rapidly change ever since. Now, modern online tools will help you better and for less. There are lots of great online resume consultants and even resume writing software so you can have a brilliant imagine when the employer calls you for an interview. The new automated resume writing software is around 40 bucks and is definitely worth investing in. There are also great online cover letter samples that could really help you achieve your job objectives. A good resume writing software and a cover letter sample plus a short interview preparation course can cost you probably less that 100 bucks and it gives you so many more chances to get hired. So remember this:

Resume Writing Software means Less Time, Less Money, More Chances or LT, LM, MC
