Get your CVs ready for the new year
With the new year fast approaching, many of our schools are seeking new staff.
To make the most of this excellent opportunity to find the job of your choice you need to create an attractive CV.
In our experience good CVs make a huge difference to the number of opportunities offered.
Good CVs include:
At the top put an educational objective – try to phrase it like:
"I am seeking a secondary school in the UK to commit to for 1 year to build on my teaching experience"
rather than
"I want to find a long term job while I travel in Europe."
After that, briefly name your University qualifications, the year you got them and the University(ies) where you studied.
Next should be your teaching experience – which is laid our in our demo CV. , Try to include several bullet points, outlining extra what you contributed to the school you prac’ed in and using education specific words if possible
" i.e. attended classroom management seminar as part of professional development".
or
" I ran an lunch hour class for pupils with literacy difficulties"
or
" I attended parents eveing and marked reports"
The end part of your CV should have your previous schooling, experience in other job roles AND the email addresses of 2 people who have supervised/seen your teaching and had authority over you. They also must have professional email addresses – not yahoo.com please.
