The challenge is how will you present the best version of yourself that will make you stand out among all of the applications?
That is where you must think beyond your employment resume and consider other ways of showcasing your many talents, skills, and attributes. In this module you will learn the difference between an employment resume and a biographical resume. In addition, you will also be preparing a biographical resume and paragraph.

Step 1: Create Your Bio-Resume
A biographical resume is similar to a work experience resume, but it is not tailored to a specific job, therefore it will be broader in scope and slightly longer than a work resume. There is no one perfect template, so please look at the Bio Resume Example here. It was made using one of five templates available in google docs.
You should also do some research and consider some of the free templates at Novoresume. You may register with your acrss.ca google account and are not required to purchase anything.
