Important guidelines for a Canadian resume
- No photo: Unlike other countries, never include your photo on a Canadian resume to avoid bias and comply with fair hiring laws.
- No unnecessary personal details: Do not include marital status, age, SIN, gender, or religion. Stick to basic contact info: name, city, phone, and LinkedIn.
- Focus on achievements: Describe your previous experiences using action verbs and quantifying your results whenever possible.
