Ways to Submit Your Teacher Resume
Online Postings: Posting your teacher resume online places it where thousands of potential employers and recruiters can see it. If you have good credentials, then your resume can get picked up fast and easily. Also, many schools have online application
procedures for new teaching jobs. Thus, attaching your resume to an online teaching job application is another great way to submit it.
E-mailing your Teacher Resume: In the 21st century, most teacher job searches moved online. Not only is e-mailing your resume a fast way to submit it to local recruiters, but, for international teaching jobs, it may be the only way to submit your teaching application and resume. Here is some information you need to remember when emailing your teacher resume:
Make sure you include your name and the exact teaching job you are applying for in the subject line of the e-mail. This helps recruiters identify that the e-mail is from a prospective applicant, and it improves the chances of your e-mail actually being opened.
Always use the full forms of words and no abbreviations. For example, no 'u' for 'you', no FYI for 'For your information' and things like that. Recruiters will be less than impressed by such e-mail etiquette when used by a teacher.
Send your teacher resume as a plain Microsoft Word document. Not everybody has advanced software to view resumes that have been typed in PDF or JPEG. So unless you want your teacher resume to be cast aside because the receiver cannot open it, send it in plain text.
Don't just check, but double check, that your e-mail and your teaching resume do not have any spelling or grammatical mistakes. Such mistakes from an educator are not well received.
Hand delivering your Teacher Resume: Delivering your resume by hand is also a good way to get it in front of prospective employers. You simply approach school district personnel offices directly and drop off your resume, indicating that it should go to the personnel director. If the opportunity presents itself, you can also speak to the personnel director or an assistant and give your teaching resume to him or her.
