Such documents do little to differentiate you from the competition. Instead of writing about things you did, write about the accomplishment within the task. How did you make a difference in the role? Rather than writing the tasks you accomplish in a garage, insist on the efficiency with which you excel in the performance of your duties, on the fact that you’re doing it right the first time, therefore have no come backs, etc.

This could result in a catastrophic shortage of qualified workers in various trades and professions in the Canadian market in the next few years. Under these circumstances employee loyalty and retention become critically important issues. We all know very well that raising wages cannot in itself be the ultimate retention strategy.
