maybe you can ask your friends for their resumes so that you can have a better idea of how to make yours better looking

for mine, when I was applying for a position in a lab, I have the following sections in my resume:

name, contact information, email

Objective: to apply for what

highlights of qualifications: what's so good about you (how good you can work)

technical skills: what can you do (this section is not very necessary if you are just applying for a random part time job)

Education: where did you go to school, when did you graduate, what did you study (again, not necessary if you are not applying for any position that requires some specific kind of education)

Previous work experience: list the most revelant experience first, skip this section if you do not have any past working experience

volunteering experience: kind of like a backup to people who doesn't have work experience

hobbies/interests: not necessary

references: not necessary unless the employer asks you for one or two. but it's good to have some reference people that you can provide

-------------------------

so this is how I built up my resume.....
I had only 1 page when I was applying for my first job. Now it got expanded to 3 pages

a resume is just the product of an effort of BS

you need to put some EFFORT to sell yourself, dude

what I see right now is that you are just sitting at home doing nothing, not even trying hard to find a job and complaining you have no skill and education

even some china immigrants who can't speak english + poor education can find a job in Canada, so what's so hard to find a job if you are willing to put in the effort?

what dude
i got my resume
i sent my resumes to companies

i can't find a job, nothing i can do

嘉嘉

you still don't get what I mean....
I am saying, you need to put more effort to make your resume look good

if I am the employer, and I have two resume in front of me
both of them do not have working experience
if I am to choose between these two, who would I pick?
I would definitely choose the one who has a better looking resume

I have seen some resume of my friend which was so bad and made me O咀

what kind of job are you looking for exactly? you have never mention what do you want to do

but I am so sure that Starbucks, McDonalds, T&T, and Daiso are always hiring

tiffiant

i really want to work something which i'm able to learn something
work the way up to the highest position

Because they have connections? (social networking, nepotism, 裙帶關係 ...)

Getting a job in Canada is about who you know, NEVER about what you know.

I do not agree.....
at least for sure in the company that I work at
yes it's easier if you know someone, but doesn't mean if you don't know anyone you would never have a chance

for my first 3 part time jobs, I did not have connection with anyone in the workplace
I just got it
