Is there a set way to write a resume? Is there a set resume template that the employers are looking forward to – a resume template that is sure to help the candidates in their job search?

After being stifled with economic downturn for close to two years, Canada’s economy made an impressive comeback in 2017. Riding on this turnaround, unemployment rates in Canada have plummeted to record lows – paving the way for job opportunities for experienced as well as fresh out of college graduates alike.

The media is suggesting that there are more jobs currently available than there are people applying for them. Somehow, that might not make sense to you if you are sticking to a resume template that is not getting enough responses. It can be very frustrating, but you should not feel you're being ignored because you are incompetent. The challenges may arise in the way you are drafting your resume and how you are marketing your skills.

Summers are here and with summers open up different types of jobs in Canada. From companies looking for various types of construction workers in order to get the maximum out of long days, to mining engineers being interviewed for various jobs before the big winter sets in – summer is a great season to find a job in Canada.

From scouting for talent to finding the best candidate, staffing agencies can be really helpful if you are looking to add new employees on your team.

With the economy stabilizing and unemployment rate at record low, staffing industry in Canada is set to grow at nearly 4% to over $9.1bn in 2018.
