The resume should be short and concise, presenting an employer with information pertinent to the job announcement in a brief, easy‐to read format. One page is usually sufficient for new college graduates with limited work histories, but experienced individuals may need two pages.  \nA variety of formats can be used for resumes. However, in our experience with university students and other job seekers, we have found that the chronological format generally works the most effectively. This approach operates on the assumption that your most recent experience is the most relevant. Consequently, information concerning your education and experience is presented in reverse date order. The information which follows details the elements that are typically included in a chronological resume.  \nTHE BASIC ELEMENTS OF A RESUME  \nThere is no one correct way to write a resume. However, there are some basic elements you need to include in your resume:  \nIdentifying Information‐‐The very first information on your resume should be your name, address and phone number (and/or message phone number, if applicable), including both zip and area codes. You may also include a website address, if you have one. Your main objective is to get employers to remember you, so highlighting your name using bolding, caps or a larger font will make you more visible.  \nEducational Background & Certification‐‐With emphasis on the highest education level attained, list your college experience including name and location of institutions attended, degrees/certificates earned or to be granted, major, special coursework, and dates of completion. You may also want to list any outside training you have received (such as special workshops or seminars) which is pertinent to your career objectives. For new graduates this section is placed before the experience sections. As more experience is gained the education section may be moved farther down the page. When writing you  \nCertifications–This is the area separate from and above the Education section. It details the type of certificate  \nCareer Objective or Profile (Optional)‐ For application to a specific job, an objective is usually not necessary. An objective may be appropriate at a career fair or to designate specific skills/endorsements that you wish to use. It should be a very specific statement about the type of position you are seeking and/or the skills you wish to use. If you plan to explore a variety of different opportunities, you will probably be better off using your cover letter to explain the type of position you are seeking so that you can tailor your statement to the particular organization you are contacting.  \nTeaching Related Experience‐‐List in reverse chronological order the experiences you have had which directly relate to teaching, working and/or volunteering with children. Include subheadings such as Teacher, Substitute teacher, Student Teacher, Practica, Tutor and Camp Counselor.  \nThe experiences most directly relevant to the position for which you are applying should be emphasized. Typically, those would be student teaching and substituting for the entry level teacher and contracted experiences for veteran teachers. In highlighting your experiences, include only the information that would be relevant to the position you seek. Be sure to use language which indicates you are current with curricular, instructional and philosophical trends in your field. At the same time, the resume should not appear verbose or full of clichés. Using brief examples is a way to build a positive image in the mind of the resume reader.  \nOther Experience‐‐At this point, you will need to make a judgment call on how specifically you will list your current and former em","cbCailuIbkz7DdVz","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailuIbkz7DdVz","pdf",471701,"English","# Purpose of Resume\n## Resume format choice\n# The Basic Elements of a Resume\n## Identifying information\n## Educational background and certification\n## Career objective or profile (optional)\n## Teaching related experience\n## Other experience\n## Key qualifications or highlights (optional)","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of an educator resume?\",\"answer\":\"An educator resume markets the applicant for the next position by presenting job-relevant information in a short, easy-to-read format tailored to the job announcement.\"},{\"question\":\"Why is the chronological resume format often recommended?\",\"answer\":\"It works effectively because it assumes the most recent experience is the most relevant, presenting education and experience in reverse date order.\"},{\"question\":\"What basic elements should a resume for educators include?\",\"answer\":\"Key sections include identifying information, educational background and certification, an optional career objective/profile, teaching-related experience, other relevant experience, and an optional key qualifications/highlights section.\"}]","Educators Resume - Purpose and Basic Elements | PDF",1789284256,6]
