Your resume introduces you on paper. It outlines your education and work-related experiences in an easy-to-read, positive manner and is the “ticket” to get you an interview.  \nYour resume:  \n􀁸 Gives an employer a “snapshot” of your education, credentials, experience, and accomplishments (ie. your qualifications)  \n􀁸 Is a guideline for you to review your qualifications before an interview; during the interview, it focuses the interviewer’s attention on your strongest points and guides the interviewer toward positive things to talk about  \n􀁸 Let’s you network with people who can help you in your job search (co-operating teacher, field supervisor, friends, parents, professors, former employers)  \n􀁸 Leaves information about you with a potential employer to promote future contact  \n􀁸 Supplements information when you complete standardized application forms  \nResume Tips  \n􀂃 Use perfect grammar, spelling and punctuation.  \n􀂃 Use present tense for current activities and past tense for previous activities.  \n􀂃 Do not use personal pronouns or articles, e.g.“I”,“me”,“their”, or “the”,“a” or “an.”  \n􀂃 Do not repeat yourself.  \n􀂃 Keep your resume to one or two pages unless you are an experienced teacher or are changing careers.  \n􀂃 Use keywords appropriate to your area: balanced literacy, portfolio assessment, standards based, manipulatives, differentiate instruction, etc.  \n􀂃 Do not use pre-designed templates in software programs.  \n􀂃 List experiences and activities in reverse chronological order; most recent first.  \n􀂃 Focus on accomplishments and not just job responsibilities.  \n􀂃 Should be attractive, concise and easy to read. Use bold or italics for job titles and headings. Be consistent in format.  \n􀂃 Highlight relevant work experience and skills transferable to the classroom.  \n􀂃 Use a legible font style (e.g. Times New Roman, Arial, Georgia, Calibri, Cambria, Garamond) and size 10-12 point font.  \n􀂃 Use white or off-white, high quality resume paper for paper submissions.  \n􀂃 Start every bullet with an action verb followed by the task you performed rather than just listing job responsibilities.  \n􀂃 Do not lie or exaggerate. Be prepared to talk about everything on your resume.  \n􀂃 Have several people review your resume for content, style and to insure it is error free.  \n􀂃 Customize your resume for the employer/position for best results.  \nResume Content Sections  \nHeading—Consists of your name, address, phone number, email address, and website (optional) .  \nObjective/Personal Mission Statement (optional)—A concise statement that says the type of position for which you are looking or applying.  \nEducation Experience—List in reverse chronological order (most r","cbCaig0y2I3xEVuQ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaig0y2I3xEVuQ","pdf",840314,19,"English","# What is a Resume?\n## Resume Tips\n## Resume Content Sections\n## Putting Your Words Together to Make Impactful Resume Statements\n## Creating Resume Bullet Points\n## Action Words List\n## Resume Explanation\n## Sample Resume\n## Sample Reference Page\n## Sample Elementary Teacher Resume\n## Sample Secondary Teacher Resume\n## Sample Music Teacher Resume\n## Licensing Information for Educators\n## Uploading a Resume to Career Connections Online\n## Resume Checklist","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of a resume in the job search process?\",\"answer\":\"A resume helps secure an interview and organize information for a potential employer.
