5.0 out of 5 stars The best resume book for teachers!!, November 18, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Expert Resumes for Teachers and Educators (Paperback)

I got this book along with several other resume books for teachers from the library. I thought this book was the best of all of them. It is filled with actual award-winning resumes by real teachers. The authors point out the special features and strengths of each resume. What I especially liked is that they focus on the visual style and formatting of a resume along with the content.

Using the examples and tips in this book, I re-formatted my resume to showcase my strengths and be easier to read. I had sent my old resume to someone in response to a teaching job he had, but I never heard from him. Still hoping to get in at this school district, I sent my new and improved resume to a different person, hoping she might have some openings instead. Well, she gave a copy of my new resume to the first person and he called me the same day for an interview!! I know it sounds like a cliche, but it really happened. My new resume got me in the door, and I got the job!! I highly recommend this book!

3.0 out of 5 stars Great for Experienced Teachers, but not much info for career changers, September 6, 2008

This review is from: Expert Resumes for Teachers and Educators (Paperback)

There are numerous examples and great explanations of the resumes and when to use each type. I am keeping this book for future reference. Unfortunately, it does not help very much if you are a career changer, like me. I did use some of the information in creating my resume, but I would have liked more help for those new to the field that did not recently graduate from college. There is a great section for college instructors as well.

This book helped me to organize my resume. It is a good resource for key words that are attention grabbers so that your resume will get noticed. I am sure I will use this reference book to help me update my resume in the future too.
