Beware of Recruitment Fraud - We have become aware some people have received false employment offers from individuals or organizations posing as Nexus Staffing. Please be aware that Nexus does not send job offers via text, WhatsApp or any social media, and that we will never request money from job seekers, nor request personal information beyond what is required for payroll purposes after hire. All individuals who are successful in gaining an offer of employment from Nexus Staffing are required to go through a formal recruitment process including an interview with a member of our recruitment team. If you have received an employment offer via text, WhatsApp or on Social Media please delete it. We have reported this situation to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre.
Your resume must include your work experience, qualifications and skills. This document is what hiring managers will assess to determine whether or not they want you to come in for an interview.
When applying for jobs, you will need to hand in a resume, and you cannot submit a resume you've had on file for years because it may no longer reflect your abilities. You need to take the time to update your resume and must include relevant work experience and skills that make you the best candidate for the job. Outdated resumes will end up at the bottom of the pile, and you may not be considered for the position.
Contacting an employment agency is a great idea if you are struggling with your resume, and the following are simple tips they will recommend to update your resume:
Make Sure You Have The Correct Contact Information
Have you recently moved? Did you get a new phone number? Have you changed your email address? Situations can change over time, and you need to make sure that you have the correct contact information on your resume. This is a quick fix that can save you from major headaches because there's nothing worse than submitting a resume with incorrect information on it. This will prevent employers from being able to contact you, and you may miss out on a fantastic job opportunity.
Add Any New Work Experience
If you have gained new responsibilities in your current role or started a new job since last writing your resume, you need to add this information. Any new tasks, responsibilities and work experience relevant to the role you are applying for should be added to your resume.
Check For Spelling Errors And Formatting Issues
Always get a friend or family member to proofread your resume because they may find spelling errors you did not see. Getting an extra set of eyes to look over your resume is a must before sending it out, and an employment agency may recommend getting multiple people to proofread your resume to ensure there are no errors. Hiring managers will discard resumes that are full of spelling errors or formatting issues.

Tailor Your Resume To The Job At Hand
If you find a job you are very interested in and think that the position is perfect for you, tailor your resume to that job specifically. Use keywords you see in the job advertisement if they are applicable to your skills and abilities. The more your market your resume to the job you are applying for, the higher your chances of landing an interview. Make sure you are being honest when marketing your resume to the job at hand, and always remain truthful.
