by MASTER RESUME WRITER, Regina Pontow
As a Master Resume Writer of 15,000 resumes (many, many
teacher resumes) and author of 13 resume and cover letters books ... my
strategies and testimonials demonstrate the power of what you'll learn
in this book. To create
PROVEN RESUMES & COVER
LETTERS FOR TEACHERS, I gathered and analyzed 50 teacher resumes
and identified 8 DISASTROUS MISTAKES 95% of all Teachers make
when writing their resumes… my book TEACHES you how to avoid these
mistakes and create a Teacher Resume that RANKS in the TOP 5%.
Next,
I analyzed 50 Teacher Job Ads, categorizing
all skills in them by grade levels and subjects being taught. From this analysis I found
there were 18 SKILL CATEGORIES repeatedly requested across all levels
of Teaching jobs. I
then created Skill Headings for these 18
SKILL CATEGORIES for use in both Teacher Resumes and Cover Letters. Utilizing
these 18 SKILL CATEGORIES is critical in creating a Teacher Resume that
puts you ahead of other Teacher Candidates in this HIGHLY COMPETITIVE
field where many teachers find it hard to land full-time teaching jobs.
In addition, to providing you with the TOP 18 TEACHING SKILL CATEGORIES and
HUNDREDS of SKILL STATEMENTS … this book covers the following topics:

Now let’s compare a Before
& After Teacher Resume from the book—BUT BEWARE—merely copying
sections of Teaching Resumes or Teaching Cover Letters--that you think
sound good--won’t get 50%-100%-200%-300%-400% more interviews--as many of my Teacher resume clients have
reported ... nor will you land higher salaries in positions offered
that are not salary-controlled by public school districts. This
means, if you’re applying for a
Teaching position where salary is negotiable you won’t land salaries
that are anywhere from 10%-50% higher because you don't apply the
critical 7 steps below:
1)
CORRECTLY IDENTIFY & MARKET YOUR
TEACHING SKILLS
2)
ANALYZE TEACHER JOB ADS to
identify top teaching skills Districts, Schools & Principals
demand!
3)
PROVE HOW YOUR SKILLS solve each
District’s School’s or Principal’s needs
4)
REPLACE WEAK JOB TITLES with
Skill Headings that sell skills relevant to the Teaching Jobs you want
5)
WRITE POWERFUL CONTENT to
quantify both your Teaching and Non-Teaching Job Experience
6)
USE DESIGN THAT DIRECTS attention
and sells your skills in seconds
7)
GRAPH YOUR TEACHING & NON-TEACHING
job titles and skill headings to determine how each one will
either make your image go up, down or match the Teaching job and salary
you want!
Take
a moment and scroll down to the BEFORE resume and
then scroll down to the AFTER resume. At a quick glance, which
one of these resumes presents this teacher as more qualified for an
Elementary Teaching position? If
you could choose only one Elementary Teacher to interview whom would
you choose from these two resumes?
Which resume does a better job of selling key skills
needed as an Elementary Teacher … and does this in only a matter of
seconds? Which one
uses Resume Design (bolding, skill headings and subheadings to direct
and control the eye)? …
this short example illustrates one method I use to teach effective
resume writing … buy guiding you through an analysis of what does and
doesn’t work you’re actively involved in learning HOW TO CREATE A
TEACHER RESUME THAT LANDS MORE INTERVIEWS AND HIGHER SALARY OFFERS!!

RESUME SAMPLES FROM THIS BOOK!
While this example is for an ELEMENTARY
TEACHER, the concepts you learn in this book apply across all
teaching grade levels and subjects.
I have to admit that I was quite surprised to find
that the 18 SKILL CATEGORIES I compiled from the 50 teacher ads form
the foundation of skills required for any teaching position. To
compliment these FOUNDATION SKILL
CATEGORIES … I teach you how to find, locate and analyze
descriptions for the SPECIFIC SUBJECT AREAS you
wish to teach … that way you have the best of both worlds … BASIC
UNIVERSAL SKILLS REQUIRED FOR ANY TEACHING POSITION along
with SUBJECT-SPECIFIC TEACHING KNOWLEDGE & SKILLS
to match the Teaching jobs you want!
