Hiring managers prefer short and concise resumes. If you have a long
job history and many impressive accomplishments, you may not be
able to accommodate them in under two pages.
Using the right Canadian resume format will help if the applicant
tracking system scans your resume or is viewed by a hiring authority.
The format of your resume is important, and we will discuss this topic
in-depth in this post.

you pull up the CV of many college professors, you will find a long list
of papers published mostly in academic journals and possibly in trade
publications and the media.
Each paper must follow one of the major academic editorial formats.
APA and the Chicago Manual of Style are the most popular reference
formats for social studies topics. Engineers use the IEEE style, while
medical professionals often use AMA (American Medical Association)
style.

possible, keep your resume to 2 pages):

If the patent list is short, consider listing your patents’ titles and
numbers in your resume.
Use your discretion when deciding which patents are relevant to the job
and merit being brought to the hiring manager’s attention in the resume.
If you are applying for a job as a materials scientist in the
semiconductor industry, you do not need to include the aerodynamic

If you apply for a job as an oil and gas engineer, a university research
project working with new chemistries in advanced fracking techniques
may land you an interview. Hiring decisions are often based on
experience in advanced materials and techniques that could add value
to your new employer. Provide enough detail to demonstrate the value
proposition you will bring to the job.
Presentations
In the CV, list all professional presentations you have delivered relevant
to your field. This may include conferences, seminars, lectures,
workshops, roundtables, and guest lectures. Follow the presentation
citation format commonly used in your field and be consistent with the
editorial style guide used for Publications (e.g., AMA, APA, CMS, IEEE).
Provide the full list of awards on your CV (and do not forget to link to
your CV). Before leaving an award off of your resume or CV, consider
what it conveys about you. Some awards communicate soft skills,
which generally are not well represented on resumes. We often provide
a list of how caring, helpful, and generous without proof to back up
these claims. Awards and acknowledgments you received from the
volunteer sector could provide evidence of all three of these traits.
