Default Converting CV to Resume

Hi

Having seen plenty of advice on this site about the importance of having Canadian-style resume as opposed to a UK style CV, does anybody know of good websites to help me do the conversion.

I would also like to know people's thoughts and experiences regarding the Resumes and gaining employment in Canada.

I have seen Resume writing services advertised on Monster.ca and wonder whether it is worth paying out for this service. I would need Resumes for both myself and my wife.

All help would be appreciated.

Hi, you can have a look at this website: http://www.your-cv-coach.com/cv-power-words.html

Instead of A4 settings when formatting your resume, use 'letter' settings.
