Alberta's career information service, alis, recommends keeping a resume to one or two pages. It advises leaving out a photograph, your Social Insurance Number and personal details such as age, marital status or religion, which can introduce bias and have no place on a Canadian resume. Tailor each resume to the job posting, using the keywords and skills the employer asks for, and proofread carefully. Our Resume Template & Tips download follows the one-to-two-page format.

These are called behavioural questions, and a common way to answer is the STAR method: describe the Situation, the Task you had, the Action you took and the Result. Alberta's alis suggests keeping each part short (two to four sentences) and using numbers to show your results when you can. Our Interview Prep Checklist includes a STAR reminder and common questions to practise.

Begin by listing the skills you already have that transfer to other fields, then pick a field where Canadian employers are hiring and check what employers there ask for on Job Bank. Our one-minute program quiz can suggest programs that match your interests, and the salary calculator shows typical Alberta wages for related occupations.
