How to write a Canadian-style resume
Often people write superfluous things on their resumes: talking about their family, adding their photos, writing about all the jobs they have ever done. Such a resume is not suitable for Canada.
As we told earlier, many people looking for a job in Canada simply translate their CV from Russian into English. That's not good, because Canada (and the US) have their own rules for CVs. This is one of the main reasons why Canadian employers ignore your resume. To understand the differences, we recommend looking at sample sample resumes on Canadian job search sites. For example, Monster.ca
You can also search for articles on the subject, hire some company that develops resumes, or just type "accountant resume (cv)" into a search engine, where the word "accountant" will be the name of your profession in English.
A typical Canadian resume is one page. At most, it is two. For example, if you are a programmer and you write in several programming languages, make websites, write texts, conduct webinars, run a YouTube channel, do not put all that on your resume.
If such a typical, our, man will compose his resume, it will get huge, it will describe unnecessary experience: for example, 20 sites that he makes, the programs he wrote, still add his picture, a picture of his dog, his wife, and so on.
But it's not a Canadian resume. It just won't be considered.
