Resume World's Milestones
What makes us Canada's #1 Resume Writing Company? Here are the facts 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 Resume Writing Company 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. View Corporation Registration.
1992 – Resume World opened its second location at 2610 Weston Road (at Hwy. 401) in North York based on growing market demand for its resume writing expertise and to serve clients west of Toronto.
1994 – Resume World opened its third location at 5635 Young Street (at Finch Avenue) in Toronto based on client success and the need for a central office to support business growth and client needs.
1994 – Resume World standardized the resume writing process and developed the first Resume Writing Certification program. This step was taken after much research in both Canada and the U.S. to locate and join an existing Resume Writing and Career Association. Since no association existed at the time, Resume World then streamlined and documented its own in-house resume writing and client consultation process and created an accreditation process and code of conduct for all employees to follow across its three locations. Subsequently, each and every employee hired by Resume World must go through and pass this rigorous certification program to become a Resume World’s certified writer. Upon completion of this process, employees are then provided with additional on-the-job training on a yearly basis so they can deepen and broaden their writing expertise and job market knowledge in order to deliver continuous value to our clients.
1994 – Resume World celebrates 5 years in business with a strong roster of clients from across 30 plus industries. With the completion of our “five years” of successful resume writing, our team of professional resume writers have written 14, 856 resumes and amassed a diverse client-base consisting of mainly professionals (engineers, accountants, doctors, lawyers, teachers, etc.). 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.
