Standing Out From the Crowd: Top Five Tips to Writing an Effective Resume
By TorontoJobs.ca
Good News Job Seekers! According to Statistics Canada*, Canadian employment increased by 43,000 in January, pushing the unemployment rate down 0.1 percentage points to 8.3%, marking the fourth employment rise in six months. Within these numbers, Ontario employment was up by 30,000 in January, accounting for more than half of the employment gains.
This decrease in the unemployment rate means that there are more job openings within companies, and therefore, employers will be actively reviewing resumes for potential employees. Although jobs are being created, there is still stiff competition in the job market. Job seekers must impress employers with well written, high quality resumes that will help them land an interview.
We at TorontoJobs.ca receive and review hundreds of resumes each week. We have compiled our knowledge and experience about what makes one resume more successful than another to create the following top five tips to writing an effective resume so that you will get noticed by employers.

Designing Your Future with Personal Mission and Vision Statements
By Cecile Peterkin
I recently spent some time revising my personal vision/mission statement for my career coaching and mentoring practice. While doing this, it occurred to me that the vision I have for my work is closely related to my personal vision. Having a job that reflects my personal vision is powerful because it has allowed me to create a business life for myself that truly reflects who I am.
Companies know all about vision and mission statements, and getting their employees on board. Vision and mission statements propel the company in the direction that they want and, ultimately, towards success. Many of us have spent countless hours working on these statements for our employers and doing our part to contribute to their vision as a member of the team.
Much like a business, we, as human beings have a purpose or mission in life. What if we spent as much time getting to know who we are and what we want for ourselves?
