2. Summary
3. Education
4. Employment History

There are two common resume format types; chronological and functional. A chronological resume is most effective in highlighting your related work experience, while a functional resume is most effective in highlighting your related skills.

The Labour Market can be broadly defined as the market in which workers compete for jobs and employers compete for workers.

In the labour market, labour services are exchanged and those negotiations occurring between buyers and sellers partly determine the placement of workers in jobs with specified wages.

Labour Market Information (LMI) can be broadly defined as the information needed by individuals and organizations to make informed decisions about the labour market.

Labour Market Information addresses questions concerning the following:

• Unemployment rates
• Economic trends
• Demographics
• Wage rates

Information on the Canadian and Ontario labour markets help individuals and businesses make informed decisions about education and training, careers, business plans and employment. Insights into labour market trends and conditions in Ontario and Canada can be found through labour market research.
