CreateSpace Publishing, 2012
172 pages. Paperback.

Shows actual resumes and cover letters that helped real teachers, counselors, and administrators find new jobs and advance in their field. By tradition, teaching professionals use either a one-page resume or a lengthier curriculum vitae (CV) when they seek new positions or advance in their field, and this book provides insight into the most effective formats for the popular one-page resume as well as the lengthier CV. Real-Resumes for Teachers is designed to show the most effective formats which can be used by professionals in the teaching field to present their credentials and qualifications. The Table of Contents is constructed to show individuals in varying roles in the teaching and education field. Resumes and CVs are shown of administrators, assistant principals, teachers in child care and social services environments, college teachers and professors, counselors and librarians, elementary school teachers, high school teachers, as well as military science and ROTC instructors. There are resumes of teachers embarking on a second career in teaching, and there is even a section focusing on teachers changing careers from teaching to a new field. All resumes and cover letters were used by actual people in real job campaigns, so each resume and its companion cover letter shown is a “picture” of a successful job hunt. Also included are essays used by teachers when applying to graduate school programs or when submitting paperwork in application for Teacher of the Year competitions.
