在加拿大

Our company is still hiring java and .NOT programmer. Because all the hiring information are open, I got a chance to go through most of them. There are still many problems with the resume. And I found my resume is still one of the best. So I will give some suggestions on how to prepare your resume. (Sorry, I can only type English in office)

Headers and footers disappear when scanned. Background shading cannot be copied or faxed properly. If you want to send your resume to an agency, please do what they ask.

Name: Write your name as it is said, bold but not all caps, not in italics. Address: We cannot include you in a search unless we have your full address. Put it at the top of the first page (only). Postal Codes: There are no hyphens in Canadian postal codes. There is a space between the two sets of three characters. Correct postal code format: M4Y 2W1. Phone: Put your home phone, not just a cell. To avoid appearing eccentric, use dashes, not dots, in phone numbers. To enable us to import into our database, use this format: 416-123-4567 Email: Include both your home email and your Hotmail if any. Email should not be in caps! The author comments: (funny but true)Using other formats may cause delays while we fix them. No Garamond font, it is hard to read.No cute email addresses or aliases, or silly, too-personal websites, please.Left-justify your resume. Centre-justifying it can create a problem with scanning.

It should tell the company what you can do for them, not the other way around.・ It should be brief, just one or two sentences, and say specifically (not vaguely) what kind of job you want or could do, so that the screener does not have to try to guess.・ Think carefully about what to say here. * Avoid the words “progressive”, “challenging”, and “dynamic” which are trite to the point of being meaningless. Do not say you are a "team player" or other over-used phrases. Examples of how NOT to do this:1. “To work for a major corporation” (doesn’t specify a position.)2. “To learn and grow in my career through company education” (Don’t tell the company what they can do for you, they want to know what you can do for them.) Examples of GOOD Career Objectives:1. “To be an IT manager for an electronics manufacturer.”2. “To be VP of Sales in computer software or networking solutions.”"To be a Systems Engineer for a software developer in the Toronto area."

Columns may or may not scan well.・ To avoid clutter, you do not need to put the software version number.・ Do not list word processors, email, fax applications, browsers, or anti-virus programs in skills, everybody knows these.

Boxing day deal@生活百事 逛街 信用卡 预付费 So it is written, so it shall be done. 超赞 赏 G gdgd 0$(VIP 0) 9892006-12-15#14 Cover Letters Cover letters are a nuisance to recruiters. They are never sent to clients. If used at all, they should not repeat the same information that is already in the resume or contain information that should really be in the resume. If it is in the resume it should NOT be in the cover letter. All important information should be in the resume, especially address and phone numbers. Many recruiters prefer not to have any cover letter at all, we will figure it out, don’t worry. Assume that the cover letter will be discarded without being read. The cover letter (if any) and the resume should be 2 separate docs. Do not combine them in one doc, or we will have to spend our time trying to remove the cover letter from the resume. Cover letters (if any) should be brief, one sentence may be enough, and included in the body of the email, not as a separate doc. Personalised but not too intimate, (Dear Mr. or Ms.---, never Dear Firstname) Your email cover letter if any should contain some of the points below. Keep it BRIEF, the screener will appreciate that you are respecting his time. ・ Mention of which job you are applying for, or if you are sending the resume on spec・ Mention of where you saw the ad if any, or mention of how you got the recruiter’s name, or the name of the person who referred you.・ Salary requirements or range or present compensation.・ Location requirements, or when you expect to be moving to Toronto if not already here.・ Preferences re permanent or contract work・ Other special requirements if any.・ A polite invitation to review the resume.

Length of Resume: Please respect our time. Resumes should be CONCISE and BRIEF! 2-3 pages long is best. In the case of some contractors resumes may be longer, but no resume should contain work history more than 10 years old. Soft skills, e.g. "team player", or “can learn fast” should be omitted. If we need more information we will ask you. References should be on one further separate page. Location, location, location: Put your full address at the TOP. If you live in Sudbury and are applying for a job in Toronto, we are going to wonder how you plan to get to work in the morning. Do not send us a resume until you are settled in the Toronto area, we cannot handle relocation. Naming your Resume Doc: We have to file your resume so we can find it again. Don't call your resume Resume.docor anything else which is meaningless to the screener. Call it Lastname, Firstname.doc, for example Smith, John.doc. No underscores. Email Subject Line: When sending your resume by email, always put your full name in the subject line, also your occupation or the job you are applying for. This will help the screener. For example, “Mary Jones, Sr. C++ Programmer, Toronto” or “Mary Jones for English Help Desk”. Avoid silly or arrogant messages in the subject line of an email.

Clarify anything that may be questioned before it is questioned. For example, if you worked for a computer school as a volunteer, do not try to make it appear that you were employed there. If it was co-op or contract work (hourly rate), say so. Don’t annoy the screener by making your resume difficult to understand. Don’t omit jobs, if you did them you are stuck with them.
