make sure to include in how you have a passion for teaching, and loves students, and how you want a brighter future for education
Decide what information you want to include in your resume. Your resume should only include information and details related to the teaching and education industry. You should include all information that can let the potential employer know that you are qualified for the teaching position that you‘re applying for.
Make an outline of your resume. Create a rough draft of your teaching resume and be sure to include important information such as your education (college degree), work experience or prior teaching experience (student teaching, substitute teaching, tutoring and volunteer work), licenses or certifications, skills and relevant organizations and memberships. Give specific details about your relevant experience, such as your experience creating lesson plans, curriculum projects, school or classroom activities you’ve coordinated and professional development training.
Develop each section of your resume and make it look professional. Begin by listing your contact information at the top of your resume. Next, include a separate section for each area that you plan to include in your resume (education, work experience) Be sure to use headings and use bullets instead of writing paragraphs in each section.
Prepare your actual resume. Try not to use too much bold or italics in your resume, because this can be distracting to the employer. Make sure that the resume is organized, looks neat and is no more than two pages in length. Proofread your resume and make any necessary corrections to it.
Print out your resume and make copies of it. You should use resume printing paper to enhance the look of it. Also, be sure to save your resume to a disk.
Tips & Warnings
Be sure to include a career objective (at the beginning of your resume) stating the type of teaching job you are searching for (e.g. a high school mathematics teaching position).Make sure that you include your dates of employment and location (city and state) for your previous employers.Do not include contact information for your references. Instead simply state “References are available upon request” at the end of your resume
The Singer (above) is correct about technical aspects regarding cover letter writing.
But may I give you a piece of advice? Whatever you do, do NOT submit a resume to a school that did not ask for it. Do not “cold email” the school – your resume will end up in the trash and if you apply later you will be remembered as the idiot who could not follow instructions.
Some schools have procedures that you must follow in order to apply. Check these first.
Hi Etudes34,
There is one site on the Internet that has everything you could possibly want to assist you with a covering letter and resume preparation”
* “Creative Job Search” Minnesota.”
In addition one resume book that I would recommend is:
Madero. Frank J. The Resume Guide. ISBN 1 74110 095 X. (How to write a winning resume), because it provides samples of various professional resumes.
A visit to your local library would be a good start because you could look through several resume guides and may find a sample resume that fits the position you are seeking.
* US$16.00 ea, plus postage for the creative Job Search Manual – very comprehensive.
Hope this helps.
