The\nexample resumes in this guide will help you choose effective formatting and layout styles, but\nyou still may wish to sit down one-on-one with a Career Advisor to help decide what content\nto include in your resume. For individual assistance, contact Career Services to set up an\nappointment at 419.530.4341.\nBelow are some general suggestions to help get you started:\n\xe2\x80\xa2\n\nIf you choose to utilize an objective, include the grade levels and/or subjects you are\nprepared to teach and list a few important skills you have to offer. \xe2\x80\x9cTo obtain a teaching\nposition\xe2\x80\x9d is not specific enough. Remember, you do not have to use an objective.\n\n\xe2\x80\xa2\n\nList your Licensure (state, specific subjects and grade levels) near the top of your resume,\neither in the objective or under the \xe2\x80\x9cEducation\xe2\x80\x9d section. Some people even choose to list\nit separately under its own \xe2\x80\x9cLicensure\xe2\x80\x9d section.\n\n\xe2\x80\xa2\n\nList your experiences and organizational involvement in reverse chronological order\xe2\x80\x94the\nlast thing you accomplished will be the first thing you list under each separate heading of\nyour resume.\n\n\xe2\x80\xa2\n\nDo not forget to list your methods and other field experiences\xe2\x80\x94they are important!\n\n\xe2\x80\xa2\n\nWhen describing your related experiences, like student teaching, include the subjects,\ngrade levels, and the number of students you taught.\n\n\xe2\x80\xa2\n\nUse action words to describe your responsibilities (refer to the Action Word List on page\n10 of the Career Services\xe2\x80\x99 Resume Writing Guide).\n\n\xe2\x80\xa2\n\nDo not list high school involvement on your resume, unless something you accomplished\nin high school relates directly to your career goals (i.e., if you wish to coach basketball,\nand you played varsity basketball for three years in high school as well as volunteering as\nan assistant coach at a local YMCA, you will want to include that experience).\n\n\xe2\x80\xa2\n\nDo not list hobbies unless they relate directly to your career goals.\n\n\xe2\x80\xa2\n\nYour resume is a professional document\xe2\x80\x94avoid \xe2\x80\x9ccute\xe2\x80\x9d email address names, papers with\ncolored borders, pictures of you or your classroom, or anything that does not project a\nprofessional teaching image. Using high quality resume paper is a must. You want an\nemployer to be dazzled by your experience and accomplishments, not distracted.\n\n\xe2\x80\xa2\n\nIf you need to, it is okay to use two pages for your resume. Just be sure that you have at\nleast a half page of information on page two, put your name at the top in small print, and\nnumber it so that if the pages are separated they can be matched up again.\n\n\xe2\x80\xa2\n\nList your references in a separate document, with your name and contact information at\nthe top.\n\n\x0cSchool Address:\n333 S.

Drawing from my\nexperiences as a student teacher and substituting in various classrooms, I welcome the chance to begin my\nprofessional teaching career at Gesu. I noticed a second grade position listed on the website, and as highlighted\nin my enclosed resume, my academic achievement, related teaching experience, volunteer involvement and past\nemployment demonstrates that I possess the qualifications to begin my teaching career.\nDuring my student teaching experience I implemented lessons that were age appropriate, hands-on and\nindividualized. I developed work pages that dealt with the spelling and writing of \xe2\x80\x9clightning words\xe2\x80\x9d which\nprovided the building blocks for each students\xe2\x80\x99 own Lightning Word Dictionary. In the classroom, I constructed\ndifferent centers for the children to explore, including a nature pavilion, a space odyssey and an alphabet\nadventure. In the \xe2\x80\x9cMad about Math\xe2\x80\x9d center, I encouraged students to take the Math Challenge, using\nmanipulatives to solve simple addition and subtraction problems.\nA personal goal of mine is to provide my students with a stimulating, challenging, and healthy learning\nenvironment that will allow them to become active in their learning experience. In order to do that, I must also\neffectively communicate with students, faculty, parents, and administrators. As a student teacher I developed a\nparent e-newsletter to help distribute information and collect feedback on homework assignments.\nBeing an involved student and active member in various organizations, as well as working part-time throughout\ncollege, required perseverance and good time management skills. While teaching is a demanding career, I am\nconfident my experiences have prepared me to succeed.\nI am interested in meeting with you to discuss my qualifications for the second grade position at Gesu School. I\nwill contact you within two weeks to arrange an interview at your earliest convenience. Thank you for\nreviewing my credentials as a potential candidate and considering me for your teaching staff.\nSincerely,\n\nAdeline Streudel\n\n\x0cBernadette Peters\n1111 Sugar Crest Circle\nToledo, Ohio 43608\nDecember 1, 2003\nMr. Wonderful Superintendent\nToledo Public Schools\n1919 Manhattan\nToledo, Ohio 43608\nDear Mr. Superintendent:\nHaving completed my student teaching experience with 9th through 12th grade\nstudents at Rogers High School, I look forward to teaching social studies in Toledo\nPublic Schools. I have lived in Toledo all my life and I am fully aware of the school\ncommunity, its history and its future. As highlighted in my resume, my related\nteaching experience, academic achievements and my involvement with youth of all\nages prove my qualifications to begin a rewarding teaching career.\nTeaching Social Studies has given me an opportunity to communicate with a diverse\ngroup of people, which has influenced the lessons and teaching strategies I\nimplement in the classroom. For example, in a lesson on the Civil Rights Movement, I\nplaced numerous signs around the classroom forbidding the students from doing\ncertain activities. In order for the signs to be removed, the students had to form\ncommunity action groups similar to those in the Civil Rights Movement, decide on a\ncause in which to fight for, and make protest signs to prepare for a peaceful\ndemonstration. Finally, the students marched around the outside of the school, sang\nsongs and gave speeches that had to convince me to take down the signs.\nThrough involvement with various youth activities outside of the school, I have\nlearned how to develop activities that will stimulate the minds of the students. I have\nalso had a chance to hear concerns and suggestions from both parents and\nstudents that will help me develop an effective classroom environment. And as a\nconcerned citizen, I feel that it is necessary for students to be involved with extracurricular activities. To that end I look forward to advising or co-advising\norganizations that stimulate a positive after school environment for students.\nThank you for taking time to read and consider my application. I will follow-up with\nyou before the end of the month, hopefully to set up a convenient time to discuss\npotential positions.\nSincerely,\n\nBernadette Peters\n\n\x0c612 South Main Street\nSwanton, OH 43558\nJanuary 19, 2004\nPenelope Winters\nSylvan Learning Center\nHolland, OH 43528\nDear Ms. Winters:\nHaving just completed my degree in Early Childhood Education, I am seeking a teaching\nposition to begin my career in Education. Through researching Sylvan Learning Centers, I\nhave come to find that the center\xe2\x80\x99s mission coincides with my own beliefs about teaching for\nthe students\xe2\x80\x99 maximum individual benefit. The Sylvan Advantage is innovative and effective - customizing education programs to meet each and every child\xe2\x80\x99s unique needs.\nTeaching to a wide variety of developmental levels has provided me with the opportunity to\ndevelop a diverse repertoire of teaching strategies. I can effectively design and implement\nindividualized activities that address different learning styles, including strategies for verbal,\nvisual and kinesthetic learners. I have developed lesson plans incorporating educational\nkinesiology and guided reading, and have experience with students with dyslexia,\ndyscalculia, dysgraphia and ADHD.\nBeing a full time student as well as working part-time to pay my tuition throughout college\nrequired perseverance and good time management skills. While teaching is a demanding\ncareer, I am confident that my life experiences have prepared me for success.\nI am interested to meet with you to discuss my qualifications for a teaching position in your\ncenter. Thank you for taking the time to review my resume, and I will contact you within two\nweeks to see if you are interested in arranging an interview at your convenience. Feel free to\ncontact me with any questions you may have.\nSincerely,\n\nBethany Whitacre'
