Teachers Resumes
The likelihood of an employer choosing your resume over those of other applicants directly depends on how well and quickly you can grab their attention. When applying for a teaching or other role in the education industry, it can take some time to put together an eye-catching application package! Whether you are a newly graduated teacher or looking to gain promotion to a leadership role, the competition can be tough! You must showcase your credentials, skills, and experience in just the right manner and the thought of doing so can be off-putting for most, meaning you may be missing out on those dream roles!
The team at Select Resumes appreciates that as a Teacher, you have already got a lot going on and writing your own resume, cover letter, key selection criteria, and even a LinkedIn profile, can be a challenge. It can be difficult to communicate your teaching experience without either downplaying your accomplishments or overstating your credentials. Most people are uncomfortable ‘selling themselves and thus, cannot write a persuasive application. Even English teachers find that writing an effective and compelling resume can be frustrating! Your documents should be a marketing tool, not a shopping list. Are they all they can be?

You will be thrilled to know that our professional Writers at Select Resumes understand the importance of using the right keywords and speaking educational ‘lingo’. Specifically, we have a strong understanding of the teaching structure, including the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers and National Curriculum. We are knowledgeable about the education industry and career trends, buzzwords and language that are specific to your profession. These words are essential to optimise your job search and need to be incorporated into your resume, cover letter, key selection criteria, and LinkedIn profile.
