Tips for job-seekers
- There’s some useful reading on career planning and job hunting in the provincial government’s BC’s Career Guide for Indigenous People.
- Wondering if your resume is up to scratch? Maybe ask your Nation’s employment experts: What makes for a good resume? How do I make mine better? The Haisla Nation, for one, offers free resume-writing workshops.
- Here’s a website that offers resume-writing tips. This one talks about ‘The 3 Main Types of Resumes.’ And this one warns about ‘The Top 10 Resume Mistakes That Could Cost You the Job.’
