What most newcomer resumes look like
- Summary says "Newcomer looking for opportunities in Canada" with no clear target role or value proposition
- Experience bullets list duties only and do not show measurable outcomes, ownership, or impact
- International education and credentials are listed without context, equivalency, or relevance for Canadian employers
- Job titles and tools from previous markets are left untranslated, so recruiters cannot map your experience quickly
- One generic resume is used for every job posting with no tailoring by role, province, or industry
- Resume is too long or unfocused, with weak hierarchy and no clear "why this candidate" message
- Skills section is broad and vague, without depth, tool context, or platform-specific keywords
- Submitted to ATS with keyword mismatch and filtered out before recruiter review
