There are seven Canadian Jamaats- Toronto, Mississauga, Ottawa, Montreal, Edmonton, Calgary, and Vancouver- located across Canada. A few of them have websites. Most cities offer good job/business opportunities. Calgary, in particular, is economically outpacing all other cities because it is at the centre of the oil boom. All the major oil companies' head offices are in Calgary. Major industries in Calgary include petroleum, agriculture, tourism, and high-tech. Calgary boast a largest ethnic population and has the third largest civic municipality by population in Canada. Vancouver located on the Pacific Coast is Canada's gateway to the Pacific Rim and is a key centre for export and import of goods from Asia.

4) How to prepare a job resume?
|
Go Top
|
A Resume is considered to be a formal introduction to a potential employer. A resume should capture the employer's attention and desire for he or she to meet and interview you. Tips for writing a good resume:
- Stick to one page, with no underlining.
- Use 12 point for body text; 14 point for headings.
- Tailor the resume to the job description or want ad.
- Always use industry standard terms for technical positions.
- Describe what you did as it applies to the current needs of the job you apply for.
- Stick to what’s relevant and marketable to the job (this is not a tell all or therapy).
- Don’t list boring job descriptions, write achievements (quantify where possible).
- Promote skills you enjoy; never list things you don’t want to repeat. Place action verbs prominently where they will attract attention, i.e. “developed”, “planned”, “assisted”, “negotiated” from the job description into the top half and left edge of your first page (front load and top load).
- Write accomplishments, i.e. “problem, action, result” which you did and made a difference to management and the bottom line. Quantify your past accomplishments with the same benchmarks your future boss would use.
- Don’t list every single job you’ve ever held. Personnel managers are most interested in your experience from the last 10 years, so focus on your most recent and most relevant career experience.
- If you are seeking a job in a field in which you have no prior experience using a functional or skill-oriented format where you can present your relevant experience and skills up front rather than a chronological format.
- Appearances count so print your resume on good quality stock rather than save money by printing on cheap copy paper.
- Always have two people proof read the resume before you send it to an employer.
