PSWJobs.com Tips - Tip #4 PSW Sample Resumes & Cover Letters

After you've found the ideal PSW Job by using our on-site listings or subscribing to our e-mail list (found on the front page), its time to send prospect employers your resume.

I can't lay claim to be a professional resume writer but perhaps a few websites around the internet can.

Originally this page was going to contain a number of direct links to sample resumes. But with the speed of change on the internet today, by the time I post something a new and improved version will have likely sprung up.

Below is Google Search Box (or you can use the one within your browser).

These are the best search terms to use to find relevant resumes. Just type or cut and paste these into your favourite search engine or the provided Google search below (keep the quotes, it lets Google know that you are looking for the full phrase, not a collect of separate words):

"personal support worker sample resume”

"PSW sample Resume”

"PSW sample cover letter"

"personal support worker sample cover letter"

“health care sample resume”

“nursing sample resume”

PSW Jobs Tips - Tip #3 Always Send Resumes in .Doc or .PDF Format








Most PSW employers require applicants to send resumes in .doc (microsoft word) format and/or .pdf (adobe acrobat) format. For those without access to Microsoft Word there exists two free word processor alternatives. Both save in .doc and .pdf format. Select the software that will corresponds with your operating system (Windows or Mac).

Windows:

Open Office

Open office is a free software program that allows users to save and read .doc format files. It also includes programs similar to excel and powerpoint. To save as a .PDF click the icon that is located to the left of the print icon within the open office toolbar



Mac:

Neo Office

The best free software for the Mac is neo office. It is similar to open office but is native to Mac O/S. To save as a .doc file make sure to format as microsoft word or export as .doc. To save as a .pdf select save as .pdf file once in save mode or select the print button, then the drop down menu for save as .pdf

Tip: When in doubt send your personal support worker resume in both formats. If you are allowed to send only one choose .doc format.
