Teachers Resume Writing & Cover Letter Book
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 resume... 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.  These 18 SKILL CATEGORIES are 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.

IT'S IMPORTANT AS YOU WORK ON CREATING YOUR TEACHER RESUME ... that you UNDERSTAND MERELY COPYING sections of Teaching Resumes or Cover Letters - that you think sound good - won't land you as many interviews or as high of salary offers ... 

Because you DON'T UNDERSTAND AND AREN'T TAUGHT HOW TO:   

Correctly Identify & Market Your Teaching Skills
Analyze Teacher Job Ads to identify top teaching skills Districts, Schools & Principals demand!
Prove How Your Skills solve each District's, School's or Principal's needs
Replace Weak Job Titles with Skill Headings that sell skills relevant to the Teaching jobs you want!!
Write Powerful Content to quantify both your Teaching and Non-Teaching Job experience
Use Design That Directs attention and sells your skills in seconds
Graph Your Teaching & Non-Teaching Job Titles & Skill Headings to determine how each one will either make your image go up, down, or match the Teaching job and salary you want!

The BEFORE & AFTER RESUMES on the home page of this site (www.teacher-resume-writing.com) utilize all of the strategies above and as a consequence the after TEACHER RESUME is far more powerful.  These concepts apply across all teaching grade levels and subject areas.

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 FOUNDATION SKILLS REQUIRED FOR ANY TEACHING POSITION along with SUBJECT-SPECIFIC TEACHING KNOWLEDGE & SKILLS to match the Teaching jobs you want!
