HOW TO ARRANGE AN IRRESISTIBLE CV NO PREMIUM SCHOOL CAN REJECT
The competition in the job-hunting industry is quite tough. Getting selected for a job these days would appear like a miracle because recently every job opening has over a thousand application entries.
This means that the chance of getting selected for a teaching job in a premium school would be one in a thousand. However, if your CV is appealing and convincing enough, these statistics wouldn’t hold for you.

- Mention relevant certifications especially in the educational field: obviously, this should be the first point you have to note. Many applicants shoot themselves in the foot by adding other qualifications which may not matter to the teaching job they are applying for. If you’re on an applicant list, chances are that there are tons of other CVs awaiting perusal. Don’t give the hiring officer a reason to ponder about your credibility. Highlight relevant certifications.
- When writing your application letter, resume or summary be specific: do not make your resume appear like you’re not sure about what you want or what you can offer. If you’re seeking employment as a Chemistry teacher, write about your certifications, experience, and passion in that subject and what your service can bring in for the school.
- Highlight your stellar performances: when accomplishments are added to your CV, it adds a medal to your statement about your experience in that particular field of study. Your CV should not show just how many years you’ve worked but what you achieved those years. It could be helping 90% of students who sat for Chemistry in a national exam pass excellently. It could be helping slow learning students become the brightest in a class etc.

Maintain the single-page resume or application letter technique and keep your words simple. You can consider using a summary, if you choose to, let it very briefly tell about yourself, your preferred duty and what it can do for the school.
