You have spent your time, effort and probably thousands of dollars immigrating to Canada or the United States. You have spent years in school and have a wealth of professional experience. You are learning a new language, a new culture, and a new way of life. There is too much at stake to leave your success to chance. Give yourself the competitive edge with a professionally written resume and cover letter.
All resumes and cover letters are not created equal. Did you know that in some countries it is customary to list one’s religion, marital status or other personal details on a professional resume? This is not the case in North America. Here, employers expect the candidate to keep it brief and highlight only his or her most relevant educational and professional achievements. Trying to list your most significant accomplishments while eliminating less important details can be a daunting task. We can take the stress out of this process by writing your resume and cover letter for you.
If you already have a resume and cover letter but are still a little unsure of your English skills, we can also help. Behind every good writer is a good editor and we will act as yours by correcting grammar and usage, using keywords while avoiding clichés, and preserving your own unique voice in your resume or cover letter. We will help you formulate your goals and highlight your skills. We will also make sure that your resume is expertly formatted and inviting for the reader.
