希望能对新移民有点帮助，登陆后，找工作的进程是没来之前无论如何想象不到的，所以希望大家能多点准备以便顺利度过最初艰难的一段时间。
昨天与同事聊天，他讲了一句话，偶感觉满有道理的。写出来给大家分享一下，
“无论你在哪里工作，记得自己是来自中国，努力工作，为自己，也为了以后的移民，让顾主对技术移民有一个好的印象，大的气候好了，大家的就业就会好很多。”
『支持』『支持』『必胜』
大家工作后可能会有更实际的体会。
再给大家介绍一下JOB MENTORING PROGRAM，这是有中桥办的，主要是帮助你在本地找一个与你领域相近的在职人员做你的导师，帮助你在就业方向等方面提供帮助。偶本来本月要参加的，只是刚找到工作就不可以参加的。感觉这个项目满好的，是免费的，但对申请者会有一个资格评估，英文也是必须的。

你真是权威，加声望。 『支持』
感谢delayang大侠.
不客气，希望对大家能有一点点帮助。能在开始时少掉一点茫然也是我所希望的。
大家多讨论一下，无论是新来的还是有实际本地工作经验的朋友。
添加声望！
简历如何去写，
1。熟悉本地对你职位的要求，然后对照你过去的工作经验进行修改
2。申请不同的工作要准备相应的简历
3。一般分四部分，PROFILE，PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE，EDUCATION AND TRAINING，HOBBIES/INTERESTS/AWARDS
4。PROFILE部分要简洁而且重点突出，有很吸引人的效果
5。国内有的身高，体重等就罢了
声望高低到是无所谓，不过还是谢谢各位了（随梦及APRIL）。
Understanding Essential Skills
Essential Skills are the skills needed for work, learning and life. They provide the foundation for learning all other skills and enable people to evolve with their jobs and adapt to workplace change.
Through extensive research, the Government of Canada and other national and international agencies have identified and validated nine Essential Skills. These skills are used in nearly every occupation and throughout daily life in different ways and at different levels of complexity.
There are nine Essential Skills:
• Reading Text
• Document Use
• Numeracy
• Writing
• Oral Communication
• Working with Others
• Continuous Learning
• Thinking Skills
• Computer Use
To learn more about Essential Skills and how they relate to Canadian occupations visit the Essential Skills Equalizer. The Equalizer is an interactive learning tool that provides users with definitions, example tasks and skill sets for sample occupations.
For more information on Essential Skills, follow the links below:
• Essential Skills Research Project
• Reader's Guide
• 10 Myths we shouldn't believe about Essential Skills
Reading Text refers to reading material that is in the form of sentences or paragraphs.
Reading Text generally involves reading notes, letters, memos, manuals, specifications, regulations, books, reports or journals.
Reading Text includes:
• forms and labels if they contain at least one paragraph
• print and non-print media (for example, texts on computer screens and microfiche)
• paragraph-length text in charts, tables and graphs
Document Use refers to tasks that involve a variety of information displays in which words, numbers, icons and other visual characteristics (eg., line, colour, shape) are given meaning by their spatial arrangement. For example, graphs, lists, tables, blueprints, schematics, drawings, signs and labels are documents used in the world of work.
If a document includes a paragraph of text such as on a label or a completed form, it is also included in A. Reading Text. Documents requiring the entry of words, phrases, sentences and paragraphs are also included in C. Writing.
Document Use includes:
• print and non-print media (for example, computer screen or microfiche documents, equipment gauges, clocks and flags)
• reading/interpreting and writing/completing/producing of documents-these two uses of
documents often occur simultaneously as part of the same task, e.g., completing a form, checking off items on a list of tasks, plotting information on a graph, and entering information on an activity schedule.
The Document Use section of the Profile has three major components.
1. Complexity Rating
2. Examples
3. Document Use Profile
Numeracy refers to the workers' use of numbers and their being required to think in quantitative terms.
Writing includes:
• writing texts and writing in documents (for example, filling in forms)
• non-paper-based writing (for example, typing on a computer)
Oral Communication pertains primarily to the use of speech to give and exchange thoughts and information by workers in an occupational group.
Working with Others examines the extent to which employees work with others to carry out their tasks. Do they have to work co-operatively with others' Do they have to have the self-discipline to meet work targets while working alone'
Description of Work Context
This description, in the form of an untitled paragraph at the beginning of the Working with Others section in each Essential Skills Profile, outlines the ways in which workers interact with one another to carry out their tasks. This section covers four types of work contexts. Knowing whether workers work alone, independently, with partners or as team members will help readers understand the skills workers use in their jobs.
As well, this section provides an idea of the variety of work interactions found within an occupational group. Workers may work independently most of the time, but work with partners in certain circumstances. For example, "Longshoremen work independently when operating forklifts in the yards but work with partners to load cargo into the hold of a ship."
Types of Work Contexts
Work alone
Employees work alone providing products or information on progress to others.
Home-based production workers work alone within their home environments.
Work independently
Workers are not physically alone but work independently, co-ordinating their work with that of others.
Receptionists in a large office and production line workers with responsibility for a very specific part of the process are in physical environments that include other workers. However, they work essentially on their own.
Work jointly with a partner or helper
One worker co-ordinates and co-operates with only one other co-worker at a time.
A tradesperson works with an apprentice.
A dental assistantworks with a dentist.
Work as a member of a team
A team is a group of workers who produce a product or accomplish a task through combined effort and organized co-operation.
Members of a film crew work together to create a feature film or documentary.
Continuous Learning examines the requirement for workers in an occupational group to participate in an ongoing process of acquiring skills and knowledge.
Continuous Learning tests the hypothesis that more and more jobs require continuous upgrading, and that all workers must continue learning in order to keep or to grow with their jobs. If this is true, then the following will become essential skills:
• knowing how to learn;
• understanding one's own learning style; and
• knowing how to gain access to a variety of materials, resources and learning opportunities.
Description of Learning
This description, in the form of an untitled paragraph at the beginning of the Continuous Learning section in each Essential Skills Profile, outlines the ongoing learning or skills upgrading that is required in the occupational group. This description may include the following types of learning:
• training in job-related health and safety;
• obtaining and updating credentials; and
• learning about new equipment, procedures, products and services.
Thinking Skills differentiates between five different types of cognitive functions. However, these functions are interconnected.
Computer Use indicates the variety and complexity of computer use within the occupational group.
The Essential Skills Profile for an occupation describes how each Essential Skill is actually used by workers in that occupation.
Each Profile contains:
Introduction
•A brief description of the occupation.
•A list of the most important Essential Skills for that occupation.
Reading Text

只是把自己知道的一点东西分享给大家。没什么的。
谢谢大乐。现在家准备，真希望了解得越多越好。
饺子的奉献－－如何得到一份好简历
简历在找工作过程中是非常重要的MARKETING TOOL。它可以帮你获得宝贵的INTERVIEW机会。
根据本人的经验，我有以下建议。
1。至少读一本关于JOB SEARCHING的书或者参加类似的WORKSHOP。很多人不太以为然，找朋友帮帮忙，或者对照英汉字典自己写简历就往外发。结果肯定不如人意。建议至少花半个月时间于此。在温哥华地区的，可以参加SUCCESS，中侨互助会的WORKSHOP。我个人觉得受益非浅。
2。建议找专业公司来写你的简历。你可以列出所有的工作经历，技能和任何你认为有助于找工作的信息。一并交给RESUME WRITER。让他们EVALUTE哪些放进RESUME，用什么样的表达方式。很多人以为只要没有SPELLING ERROR，GRAMMER ERROR就是好简历。其实不然。我试过很多次把写的东西交给LG看，他总是问我你到底想说什么，达到什么目的(他看不大懂我的英文, 尤其是工作经历,因为不熟悉BUSINESS TERMINOLOGY)。问清楚后才帮我改。改好的文字，我不得不服。VERY PERSUASIVE AND CONVINCING。这里有英语表达的问题，还有对WESTERN BUSINESS WORLD AND CULTURE的了解。后者与英语没有关系。所以饺子强烈推荐你在RESUME上投点资。
3。TRACK OF RECORD很重要。数字和项目比泛泛的叙述更有说服力。
4。TRANSFERABLE SKILLS。很多人陷入了没有本地工作经验的死循环。其实这时应该强调TRANSFERABLE SKILLS。没有绝对一样的两份工作。所以雇主看重的是TRANSFERABLE SKILLS。如LEADERSHIP，TEAMWORK，PROBLEM－SOLVING SKILL，SALES SKILL，ADAPTIBILTY，SELF－MOTIVATION，QUICK LEARNER，EUTHUSIASM，INTERPERSONAL SKILL， COMMUNICATION SKILL，BILINGUAL SKILL AND THE ETC。比如，你工作的TEAM只有两个人，你是TEAM LEADER也是很重要的。
同时不要忽略中国人求稳，不轻易变动工作，LOYAL，不介意起点工资略低也是雇主考虑的优势之一。
5。形式同样重要。排版后RESUME，要重点突出，层次清楚，美观。当雇主浏览众多RESUME时，花在第一页的时间平均只有15秒! 15秒决定是否看第二页还是扔到垃圾堆（或者不考虑的FILE里面）。所以你的第一关机会只有15秒。
6。SNAIL MAIL和FAX还是有EMAIL不能取代的优势。重要的职位传真和EMAIL我都会发。
7。写RESUME还有个更简洁的途径，即浏览招聘广告。用上面的REQUIREMENT来FINE TUNE你的RESUME。这样你就会用到正确的TERMINOLOGY。曾在论坛上看到找TECHNICAL MARKETING的职位，我没有听说过这样的词，我猜想可能是技术销售的意思。
8。重要职位应有COVER LETTER。利用COVER LETTER可以简练地强调你的QUALIFICATION是否符合这个职位的REQUIREMENT，同时说明你对该公司和该职位的重视，而不是天女散花地乱撒。
我在招聘员工时发现以下几个和RESUME相关的问题：
1。词语错误。F7只能检查拼写。但HEART和HEAR用F7是检查不出问题的。有些错误不仅难以理解，甚至可笑。相信与否，超过50％的RESUME都不是ERROR FREE
2。中文式的英语读起来不流畅。但不是致命的问题。很多雇主能理解应聘者不是NATIVE SPEAKER。不过你能改善这一项，也就比别人多了几分优势。
3。只有责任的描述，没有强调ACHIEVEMENT。这点很重要，你干过这项工作，不是给你OFFER的原因。雇主要确认你能有ACHIEVEMENT。数字更好。
4。提供了无关的信息，如性别，身高，体重，RACE，NATIONAL ORIGIN，年龄等。甚至还有照片。非常不专业，同时你会让RECRUITER有潜在的DISCRIMINATION的危险，一般这样的RESUME很少给INTERVIEW的机会。
5。排版很差。给人感觉不是DETAIL－ORIENTED。如果自己的RESUME都不TAKE CARE，让人怀疑是否能做好这份工作。
以上是我找工作和做RECRUITING的体会，希望你发现其中的某一条对你有用。

转贴: 在加拿大找工作 简历的10个秘密
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
如果你打算用一份从书上抄下来的简历找工作，那你就太傻了。大部分找工作的人都会买一本介绍简历制作的书，找一个最适合他们的形式，然后添上自己的信息。这就算制作成了！这就是那些不明白为什么机会离他们越来越远的人的做法。
“就好像网球比赛中漂亮的发球、高尔夫比赛中完美的挥杆或者是一个美味的煎蛋饼，一份完美的简历意味着你要做更多的工作，而不仅仅是像其他人一样照着模式填写。”《完美简历》的作者说，“多做些额外的工作，你会有更多的收获。在你完成简历之前，仔细考虑自己想得到什么，应该怎样完成简历。只有这样你的努力才会有回报。”
以下是工作领域的新趋势：
一、在找工作的网站中，求职者和雇主的点击率都很高的工作，并且每年的点击率都在上升。
二、公司需要与其工作领域有关的，具有特殊技能的人才。
三、求职者寻找的那些能体现他们自身价值的工作。
如果你想在以上的方面具有竞争力，你需要尝试一些新的策略。下面是《完美简历》中提到的制作新简历的规则：
1、用更适合的技术制作你的简历。70%的雇主会比较注意电子版简历，如果你的简历没有在网上有相关链接或者无法被搜索到，你的求职领域就会很有限。
2、简历要分别制作成打印版和电子版两种。了解这两种形式的联系，它们各自的局限性和优势。
3、多花一些精力做简历。没有几个公司会在没有简历的前提下考虑求职者。
4、简历所包含的内容要直接指向你求职的领域。
5、了解自己和自己的需求。在你充分了解了自己的内在因素（自身价值、兴趣爱好、技术、能力等）和外在因素（公司的发展、公司的价值、机遇等）之后，你才能确定适合自己的工作种类。
6、简历的方向要集中体现你的求职目标。如果你仍然从事以前的工作，要准备一份文件，指出你曾经做过的工作，以及没有涉及过的领域。
7、为不同的工作制定不同的简历。一份简历显然不能同时适应几种不同的工作领域。
8、精确的投递。即使是世上最好的简历，如果不在合适的人手里，也不能帮助你得到工作。
9、避免笼统。为不同的求职目标制定摘要和客观的内容。可观内容要告诉雇主你想得到什么。摘要内容要体现你的求职原因。
10、要注意简历中的关键词和对技术的描述。这样你的简历才能给雇主留下印象。同时，简历的内容要表现出你在某个工作中所做出的成绩。这样，雇主会很愿意见到你。
