Default Polite Request - Resume Feedback

Hello all,

I have a polite request, ideally for hiring managers in the IT industry, but I'll take any help I can get.

I've just finished my resume, and before I send it out I'm looking people to review it for me and give feedback.

Would any of you be so kind (please PM me if you are willing)?

I'm after any feedback at all, including things like English'isms that need converting to Canadian'isms and Canadian spelling - I ran it through a US spell checker and used the English - Canadian spelling comparison on the Wiki, but I want to make sure.

Many thanks

Chris

A tip about the spelling thing , if you are using office then there is a " Canadian English" option for the language

I don't seem to have that choice in my version of word. I only have UK, US and Australian English.

I'll look for a download.

Cheers

All versions have the same selection. Its in there somewhere. However British English is same as Canadian, other than some grammar differences. However, many Canadians would not know Canadian English if it came up and bit them on the arse. US English is more widely used in Canada and equally accepted.

Thanks for the tip, a little less to worry about.

Cheers
