As educators know, it can be difficult to put together a resume filled with all that goes into teaching: classroom, coaching, club advisor, education, licenses, etc. This book not only tells the career educator what to include, it helps weed out unnecessary information. With sections such as Production Guidelines, Tailoring Your Resume, and Resumes for International Teaching, this book is for the teacher seriously looking for a new position. It even has a section on Cover Letters.

I really enjoyed this resume book. It helped me to get my first teaching job and I was even complimented on my resume by my employer. I really found the chapter on what gets left out helpful. It also gives you good action words and short phrases to use. Great for administrators too!

If, by chance, you have never had to put together a resume this book will provide you with excellent step-by-step instruction. There is a section that assists in gathering the essentials of who you are and incorporating that information into a single document. There is also a portion of the book that provides a rather substantial list of "action words" to help you bulk up your resume. The resume samples are fairly decent, but not anything striking. They are definitely professional looking, but they probably won't make you stick out from the pack.

Let me tell you, that I have just read through four resume books specifically aimed at teachers (this book, the one listed below, Resumes and Cover Letters for Teachers, and Real-Resumes for Teachers). If you want the ultimate book, you should take a look at Expert Resumes For Teachers And Educators (Expert Resumes).

This book is money well spent! Teacher resumes require a great amount of very specific information condensed into only a couple of pages. This book is a great resource for putting together an excellent resume. It includes examples for all types of teachers and educational professionals, with elements/language specific to the subject area.
