F.A.Q.

“Can I get some resumés?”

Yes. We’ll print 5 per day for you, free of charge. Photocopying after or for non clients is 10 cents per page. Make sure you have a resumé on file with us; we’ll help you design one.

“How do I fax my resumé?”

On the desktop on the resource area computer you'll find a fax cover sheet. Complete that, as well as your resumé, and then ask a staff member to fax it for you.

“What are your hours?”

Normal hours are Monday – Friday 8:30am – 4:30pm. Please phone first because there are some days when the hours change.

“Can I come in and use the computers any time I want? Or do I have to make an appointment?”

You can come in any time during open hours and use all of the resources in our resource area. The RA assistants will be happy to help you, however, we urge all clients make an appointment with one of our Employment Facilitators.

“What kind of resume is better, a combination resume, or a chronological resumé?”

It depends on your work history and the type of job for which you are applying. To highlight skills gained in a variety of different jobs you would use a combination resumé; to highlight your career progression you would use a chronological resumé. Let our professional staff advise you.

"Why am I not getting any call backs from employers?"

Are you calling the employers after you’ve handed out your resumé? Employers want to see your interest and enthusiasm. It is helpful to take the initiative and make follow up calls to employers approximately two days after you’ve dropped off your resumé.

Does your resumé appropriately highlight your skills? If possible, it is helpful to tailor your resumé to the position for which you are applying.
