Why Do You Need A Professionally Written Resume? by Surranna Sandy

Competition in today's job market is fierce. Positions that used to attract just a few resumes are now attracting hundreds or even thousands. As a new immigrant, you face an additional hurdle of ensuring Canadian employers see the value that you offer through work experience and education. If you present your amateur resume, it will be trashed in seconds and you will not be noticed. Remember, it is not the most qualified candidate who gets the job, it is the candidate who presents himself or herself the best; in other words, landing a job is 70% presentation, and 30% actual skills and ability.

Make no mistake - a successful resume is a marketing document. You need to sell your skills to an employer and make that employer want to call you.

Prior to meeting an employer in person, you are going to have to submit a strong, targeted resume and cover letter. Your job search requires that you present the most professional image possible. A great resume can open doors to job applicants, no matter how much experience you may have in that industry. By presenting your responsibilities, accomplishments, achievements, and skills in a crisp, cohesive format, the document should speak volumes on your behalf.
