Most job hunters are content to putting their whole life in that resume just so that the recruiter will see how intelligent, lovable, and deep they are. Unfortunately, there are something you should put in there and then there are some that you shouldn’t. Here are just a few.

Too-personal information:

• Age
• Marital Status
• Ethnicity
• Weight
• Number of kids

Why place this information there in the first place? The recruiter isn’t going to ask you about this topic anyway (against the law).

Topics to throw out:

• Objective
• Salary History
• Job description articles

Besides being useless to the recruiter, this type of information just adds more mass to your resume making it unreadable.

Everyone’s looking for jobs online these days—it’s everywhere in the internet. If you’re clueless as where to start, you’ve come to the right post. Here are some cool tips via canadajobs.com:

Use Search Engines. Yes, just type in the job you want and where you want it. I tried typing in “Human Resource Assistant Canada Job” (without the quotes) and I got 261,000 results! Not all of them might be a job opening, but at least it’s a start, right?

Check Niche Sites. If you want to work in the car manufacturing business, I suggest you go to forums where they discuss such things. Most likely, there’s going to be someone there who’s got a job opening just for you. Also check out the sites of car manufacturers and look for Careers or Jobs links. There’s bound to be lots of them near your area.

Happy hunting!

Admit it already, if you have internet access in your office, you’re bound to surf around those online job sites. Don’t feel guilty about it; your boss might be going to the same places as you do. However, we suggest that you pick your time carefully just to be sure that you still have a lot of time to do your work and that no one can see you.

When the Recruitment Manager calls, we suggest you reschedule. So you send in that resume and then a call goes through: it’s the company you’re applying for! Instead of whispering during your phone interview, we suggest that you reschedule it during lunchtime or after working hours.

Timing is everything.
