Real-Resumes for Teachers

This book has some great advice in it along with some excellent cover letters. The resumes are very professional in appearance, but the layouts really aren't that interesting. This is definitely an excellent second source to have on your shelf! You should only need two books on resumes (this one and the one I've listed below) to get the job you're looking for. Let me tell you, 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 101 Grade A Resumes for Teachers). If you want the ultimate book, you should take a look at Expert Resumes For Teachers And Educators (Expert Resumes). Between these two books you should have all your bases covered!

I expect to graduate in May of this year and want to teach high school history. I have no professional experience in the teaching field, so I had no idea how to prepare a resume that would highlight my qualifications and experience that I gained from the office jobs I've held over the last 9 years. This books has several examples of resumes and cover letters from people just like myself. It has given me a lot of ideas.

This book is ESSENTIAL for anyone applying to grad school, for fellowships, government teaching jobs, elementary, middleschool, high school, college, and counseling positions--just to list a few! The essential cover letter and curriculum vitae is in there too--no need to buy another book! There is too much inside the covers to go over but suffice it to say I created an awesome resume and cover letter using the examples as guides. You can't go wrong with this one!

With a cover letter and resume for every teaching position under the sun this book is a must have. I personally learn from example, and this book is chock full of them. College professors; counselors; elementary, middle, and high school teachers in all grade levels and subject matters; and administrators will all find this book helpful. A variety of formats highlight both the resumes and cover letters. Use the best from the 180+ page reference. MUST HAVE!!!
