RESUME GUIDELINES A resume is a job-hunting tool that can help you get an interview, prepare for an interview, and organize

information for a potential employer. Your resume introduces you on paper. It outlines your education

and work-related experiences in an easy-to-read, positive manner and is the “ticket” to get you an

interview.

Your resume:

• Initiates contact with a potential employer

• Gives an employer a “snapshot” of your education, experience, accomplishments, skills,

interests and goals; gives you full credit for your achievements, whether you were paid or not

• Is a guideline for you to review your qualifications before an interview; during the interview, it

focuses the interviewer’s attention on your strongest points and guides the interviewer toward

positive things to talk about

• Lets you network with people who can help you in your job search (co-operating teacher, field

supervisor, friends, parents, professors, former employers)

• Leaves information about you with a potential employer to promote future contact

• Supplements information when you complete standardized application forms

WHAT TO INCLUDE ON A RESUME FOR TEACHERS

RESUME TIPS

� Use perfect grammar, spelling and punctuation.

� Use present tense for current activities and past tense for previous activities.

� Do not use personal pronouns, e.g. “I”, “me”, “their”, or “the”, “a” or “an.”

� Do not repeat yourself.

� Keep your resume to one page unless you are an experienced teacher or career changer.

� Use key words appropriate to your area: balanced literacy, portfolio assessment, standards based,

manipulatives, differentiate instruction, etc.

� Do not use pre-designed templates in software programs.

� List experiences and activities in reverse chronological order; most recent first.

� Focus on accomplishments and not just job responsibilities.

� Certification information should be your first item. Education is the next item.

� Should be attractive, concise and easy to read. Use bold, italics or underlining for job titles and

headings. Be consistent in format.

� Highlight relevant work experience and skills transferable to the classroom.

� Use a legible font style (Times New Roman, and the more current Arial, Georgia, Calibri, Cambria,

Corbel)

in 10-12 pt.

� Use white or off-white, good quality paper.

� Start every bullet with an action verb followed by the task you performed rather than just listing job

responsibilities.

� Focus on the last ten years.

� Do not lie or exaggerate. Be prepared to talk about everything on your resume.

� Have several people review your resume for content, style and to insure it is error free.

� Customize your resume for the employer/position for best results.
