Write a Canadian resume for one job

Question 1 of 7

1. You should tailor a resume because:

   Longer words always win Employers and screening tools look for a match with that posting One generic page is what Job Bank requires Tailoring means inventing titles
2. Alis says the resume you send should usually be:

   1 to 2 pages at most At least 20 pages Written only in a table Printed on dark paper with no name
3. Alis suggests avoiding tables or columns because:

   Employers never read point form Word cannot save a simple list Tables are required by Job Bank Some screening software cannot read them well
4. A chronological resume is often a good choice when:

   You want to hide every date for no reason You have never done any task The job is similar to work you have done You need immigration advice
5. If the posting allows it, alis suggests sending:

   A photo of a handwritten napkin only Your password file Someone else’s resume A Word .doc or .docx file
6. Job Bank’s Resume Builder (opened 10 November 2026) currently describes:

   A guaranteed interview template A traditional template and a youth or recent-graduate template A tax-filing template A table-only template that alis prefers
7. When you proofread, you should:

   Read out loud and check suggestions such as cheque vs check Trust spell check without reading Skip names and dates Add a SIN at the top
