If you are looking for a job, or planning to look for a job, chances are you've been working on your resume. If you haven't, you had better start! Having an effective resume is your first foot in the door with an employer. Today, with all of the resources available to job seekers to help create great resumes and cover letters, it is imperative that your resume looks professional and contain pertinent information for the recruiter or employer reviewing the document.
You have a choice to make: Create the resume yourself or pay for a professional resume.
If you wish to create your own resume there are lots of online and offline resources available to you. If you aren't sure what you are doing you really should check some of these out. For example the Toronto Job Seeker Resources Page provides links to many online sources of information. For those of you in the GTA who are unemployed there are many government funded services you can access for resume and job search help, you can search them out at: http://www.edu.gov.on.ca/eng/tcu/search.html
I recently came across a resume writing service website that offers some interesting free resources. Best Choice 4 Resumes is based in Waterloo, ON and offers solid free resume examples on their website. If you are new to writing resumes (or never really understood what you were doing when you prepared your last one) they also offer some good, straight-forward articles you can read on their site. Best Choice also offer a free resume critique and a free newsletter which you may subscribe to. I haven't used the service, but I like the website and suggest taking a look.
If you have come across any valuable websites you would like to recommend, let me know.
