TEACHER RESUMES AND COVER LETTERS |
... and salaries across all industries by $2K up to $50K more
by MASTER RESUME WRITER, Regina Pontow
As a Master Resume Writer of 15,000 resumes (many, many teacher
resumes) and author of 13 resume and cover letters books ... my
strategies and testimonials demonstrate the power of what you'll learn
in this book. To create
PROVEN
RESUMES & COVER LETTERS FOR TEACHERS,
I gathered and analyzed 50
teacher resumes and identified 8 DISASTROUS MISTAKES 95% of all
Teachers make when writing their resumes… my book TEACHES you how
to avoid these mistakes and create a Teacher Resume that RANKS in the
TOP 5%.
Next,
I analyzed 50 Teacher Job
Ads, categorizing all
skills in them by grade levels and subjects being taught. From this analysis I found there were 18 SKILL CATEGORIES
repeatedly requested across all levels of Teaching jobs. I then created Skill Headings for these 18
SKILL CATEGORIES for use in both Teacher Resumes and Cover Letters.
Utilizing these 18 SKILL CATEGORIES is critical in creating a
Teacher Resume that puts you ahead of other Teacher Candidates in this
HIGHLY COMPETITIVE field where many teachers find it hard to land
full-time teaching jobs.
In addition, to providing you with the TOP
18 TEACHING SKILL CATEGORIES and HUNDREDS of SKILL STATEMENTS ... this
book covers the following topics:
...How
& Why A Strong Teacher Resume Sets Your Image before Interviews
...Which Teacher Gets Hired and Why?

Judged by School Districts, Principals & Hiring Officials
...How to Include & Describe Your Non-Teaching Experience
...What To Do If You Don’t Have Much Teaching Experience?
...How To Create Meaty Teacher Resumes versus Skeleton Resumes ...
(95% of the teacher resumes I
analyzed are merely skeleton resumes – a major why most teachers
can’t land enough interviews!)

Now let's
compare Before
& After Teacher Resumes from the book--BUT
BEWARE--merely
copying sections of Teaching Resumes or Cover Letters--that
you think sound good--won't get 50%-100%-200%-300%-400% more
interviews--as
many of my Teacher resume clients have reported ... nor will you land
higher salaries in positions offered that are not salary-controlled by
public school districts because you aren't TAUGHT

CORRECTLY IDENTIFY & MARKET YOUR TEACHING SKILLS

headings to determine how each one will either make your image go
up, down or match the Teaching job and salary you want!
Before
you LOOK AT THE BEFORE & AFTER TEACHER RESUMES ... read these
directions to help you learn WHY
THE AFTER TEACHER RESUME IS MORE EFFECTIVE
...
At
a quick glance, which one of these resumes presents this teacher as more
qualified for an Elementary Teaching position?
If you could choose only one Elementary Teacher to interview whom
would you choose from these two resumes?
Which resume does a better job of selling key skills needed as an
Elementary Teacher … and does this in only a matter of seconds?
Which one uses Resume Design (bolding, skill headings and
subheadings to direct and control the eye)?
… this short example illustrates one method I use to teach
effective resume writing … buy guiding you through an analysis of what
does and doesn’t work you’re actively involved in learning HOW TO

While
this example is for an ELEMENTARY TEACHER, the concepts you learn in
this book apply across all teaching grade levels and subjects.
I was surprised to find that the 18

FOUNDATION SKILL CATEGORIES … I teach you how to find,
