Resume World's Milestones
What makes us Canada's #1 Resume Writing Company? Here are the facts and proven track record that make us #1. We are not ONLY claiming it; we are providing the PROOF.
1989 - Resume World was first established as a Sole Proprietor Business in Toronto, Canada with a single purpose— to create outstanding resumes for clients that get them into the doors of Top Employers.
1990 - Resume World established its Corporate Head Office at Aldgate Corporate Centre, 1200 Markham Road (at Ellesmere) in the Borough of Scarborough, now the City of Toronto.
1990 - Resume World was incorporated under the Laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada in October 1990.
1992 - Resume World opened its second location at 2610 Weston Road (at Hwy. 401) in North York based on our client success and demand for our resume writing expertise. in 2008, after 16 years, Resume World amalgamated the Weston Road operation with its Head Office’s operations.
1994 - Resume World opened its third location at 2610 Young Street (at Finch Avenue) in Toronto based on our client needs for a central office and growing demand for our resume writing expertise.
1994 – By the end of our “first five years" of operations, we have written 14, 856 resumes and amassed a strong client-base consisting of mainly professionals. During the early 90s, most candidates filled out company-specific employment forms/applications to apply for jobs. Employers those days (especially SMB companies) would interview candidates on the spot, even without a resume. Today, every company regardless of size asks to see your resume before granting a job interview.
1995 - Resume World applied to the Canadian Intellectual Property Office for the rights to use the name "Resume World" as its corporate trade name and logo as its trademark.
1997 – Resume World successfully obtained the rights after two years to use the name “RESUME WORLD” as its corporate trade name and logo as its “TRADEMARK.” Resume World was granted the exclusive rights to use such trademarks by the Canadian Intellectual Property Office.
1998 – Resume World established its presence on the World Wide Web (Internet). With this action, Resume World became the very first Resume Writing Company on the Internet. Our website provided candidates with “much needed and hard to find resources” on resume writing strategies and resume tools such as templates, formats, worksheets, and tips. Check out our initial website at the Internet Archive, type in www. resumeworldinc.com.
1999 - By the end of our “first successful decade” in business, we have written over 40,000 resumes and started to develop a rapidly growing “global” clientele consisting of professionals from just about every occupation and position-level – from new graduates to senior executives.
2000 - Resume World changed its corporation type to a Canadian Federal Corporation in order to obtain the .CA domain, www.resumeworld.ca. At that time, a company needed to be federally incorporated, a mandatory requirement of the Canadian Internet Registration Authority (CIRA) for any business wanting to use the country’s CA (dot-ca ) domain extension. Today, it is not mandatory to be a Canadian Federal Corporation for a business to obtain the .CA extension.
2001 - Resume World launched its new fully e-commerce website, providing clients worldwide with the opportunity to take advantage of our Services without the barriers of time or distance. This enhanced website provided easy navigation tools and a wealth of resources to clients and job seeking candidates using some of the latest web based technologies of the day.
