For TD, you could call in and ask them to waive the fees nicely.
I don’t pay any banking fee, because I either use my LOC as Chequing account (unlimited transaction), or I have their Select Service ($5000 minimum, but I get VISA fees waived, free USD account and other benefits)

Yeah, sometimes I wonder how I ever got hired, sometimes I think resume doesn’t even matter … who knows, I’ve never been on the hiring side

Resume Samples and Templates What roles do you see yourself having in a new organization? Find out which industries you're looking for. Identify companies that you think you would like to be a part of. Determine who makes the decisions. Do you have a plan to go after your goal? Do not send your resume out to just anyone without warning. Such unsolicited resume are often thrown away, unread. Always do the necessary homework at the beginning. When you can, use your well developed and written resume as a follow up tool, not as the first item you present. Present yourself as the product, not your resume. It should be utilized at the close of any great conversation, without regard to how short it may have been. Use it to remind readers of your main strengths, and provide details that they are curious about. You won't fall prey to the "send me your paper, and I'll think about meeting with you" approach. The potential employer, or the person who is looking for the job, is not benefited by prescreening with the resume method. Have some discussions with people. Research the company thoroughly. Promote your skills and assets. Make it happen for yourself! Resume Samples and Templates

I just hired someone whose resume was way too long – it mentioned some great things and since I didn’t have 200 resumes to read I had time to go through it. Following “the rules” won’t always get you what you want but they are generally good ideas.

What I don’t like about resume writing advice in general is that it’s too narrowly focused. The best way to write a resume is to do something that will be noticed. If you write just enough to make someone want to learn more the resume has done its job. You want to make the best of what you have but there’s no tricks that will give you another 10 years of experience.

I’ve never paid an explicit monthly fee for banking. Every couple of months I get charged an extra 60 cents or so because I went over the number of free withdrawals (2 per month, I think). This is a side effect of the fact that I use cash and have never used a debit card.
