It's awesome that you are willing to read resumes. I'm definitely taking you up on that. You're sharp!

I'm completing my student teaching right now so I appreciate this series so much!! I love your template! I'll definitely be purchasing it. I just updated mine but now I want to add an educational philosophy! I feel like anyone applying for teaching jobs should definitely know what cooperative learning, differentiation, etc are if they are trying to get a teaching position haha.

I definitely agree that people should know what those terms mean but you'd be surprised... ha! Best of luck as you begin applying for teaching jobs. It can definitely be hard when you don't have experience but I personally believe teachers fresh out of college have the best ideas and the most energy ;) I hope you love the template!

THIS WAS SO HELPFUL! Thank you so much!

I have been to both Salisbury and Fruitland, but am from the Midwest. Such a small world! Thanks for sharing.

Thank you so much for this video and the portfolio video. I will begin my student teaching this coming fall and I need to be ready. Thank you again fro all your time, knowledge and effort to provide us with resources and helpful information that I specially need to become a better prepare teacher. I am learning so much from your videos and I am grateful for that. I love this wonderful career that we share.

Love your passion and willingness to help new (and old) teachers! You'd make an awesome mentor teacher. :)

Bought the template, it's easy to edit, thank you so much. I love how simple yet professional it looks. Been looking for the right one for a while now, but this is the first one I actually bought because it was love at first sight. Also, you are an inspiration, thank you for all of the amazing videos

I purchased this and understand somewhat how to use it, now to pick my template heading I want and pick figure out how to use it constantly and get it out of the powerpoint to be able to print it. I love your videos and purchased some stuff will purchase more when I can and when I truly need it.

As a hopeful future teacher (still have a few years of school left), THANK YOU SO MUCH for this video!!

Hi Michelle! I just brought your resume packet on TpT and set it all up with a little tweaking and I love it. Thank you for taking the time to create it! Jen

Just what I needed! I'll be applying for my first teaching job in the next few months so I really need to update my resume! Thank you! 😊

Thanks for this video! I'm going for Education and I want to become a kindergarten teacher. And I was worried about my resume when I graduate in three years because I'm not good with Word and PowerPoint. So thank-you for the tips!

I love watching your channel! So many great ideas! Any tips for studying/passing the Praxis exam? That is currently my biggest hurdle, I am not a test taker : (

Just bought the template. Thank you so much for all the great videos and tpt items!!

thanks for the tips, definitely going to try them out.

When updating your resume, consider incorporating any relevant professional development or certifications you've acquired during your teaching career. Demonstrating a commitment to continuous learning and growth can make you stand out as a candidate during a career transition.

Thank you so much for this video!! Hello from Puerto Rico!

Thank you for uploading this video, I found it very helpful! I was wondering if you were planning on doing a video about interviewing?

Thank you so much! This video was so helpful! This is my second year as a teacher at the same school. Last year I taught 4th and this year I am teaching 3rd, do I have to put both on my resume and details under both? Or can I combine it into one? Also, if you have any cover letter tips that would be great too! I never know what schools look for on a cover letter. - Briana

Love you videos, and you TPT items!

I love this! I'm not a teacher but going to use this template for my resume for grad school

Ugh, that does not make sense to me! I'm so happy you love my template though! Best of luck!!

I stumbled upon your channel, because as a teacher, I watch teaching videos for fun, and because I lead a sad, sad, life! (Just kidding!) One thing I do want to add, which I have been told by other educators and admin, is that standard teaching resumes can be two pages, due to placements, grade changes and school changes. I personally had my internships at three different schools, and have taught in three different states, in 6 different school, in PK-6 (6th science during my internship) except third. That's A LOT to fit on one page!

This was super helpful! and I even downloaded the template! I am about to start an elementary education program at my local university, at the same time applying to the school county I am in for like secretary, registration positions just to get my feet in the door. I was wondering if you could share some helpful " objectives" to put on a resume for people like myself?? I also want to add that I Love your channel, its inspiring, and really gets me so exited to teacher!!!

From where u have downloaded the template? Plz tell me

Hi, I purchased your template from the TPT store. I am trying to add more to different sections, without have to reformat everything and losing the little icons. I was wondering if I could purchase a version where the headings move? Please let me know.

I downloaded the template for a job fair because the one I've been using just wasn't cutting it and I'm hoping this shows off better. Do you have any tips for job fairs? I have no idea what I should have in hand, how many copies, do I copy my transcripts or just bring the originals to look at? It's for the school district I want to work in for assistant positions while I finish my certifications.

Thanks!

Under skills, how did you get the bullet points on the right side?

Would you be able to make the Experience section on the first template more spacious?

Great vid...thanks!!!

Fantastic!

Can you share more about the Microsoft office master certification? Good video, as always.

I actually was able to take the exams through my high school so I was certified during my senior year! I took exams for Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Access, and Outlook and passed them all. As I passed them, I got certificates and my information is stored on the Microsoft website for verification. Here is the website if you want more information: www.microsoft.com/en-us/learning/mos-master-certification.aspx I don't think it's a necessity for teaching, but I do think it's a great certification to have! I ultimately want to be a technology coach for districts so it's something related to my career goals.

Very helpful. Thanks a lot! By any chance do you have a template to do a cover letter or a video where you explain how to write one? Thanks in advance.

Thank you

I graduated college early which has been great, but now I'm wondering when is a good time to start sending resumes? I have been told to send my resume directly to the Boards of Education for districts I am interested in. Should I do that now or wait until the hiring season really takes off?

whew! Amaaaazing!

What about formatting for your cover letter or do you not have one?

love the video !!!!!!

I've never provided references. Meaning, I never provide phone numbers of the places I previously worked in, and I've still gotten interviews. Honestly, I've never been fired from a job but if I no longer work there, it's because I strongly disliked the people and administrators, and therefore left on not such good terms. So I wouldn't want a potential new employer calling to ask about my time there. Though they could still just Google the place for a phone number, but I just don't want to make it easy for them and worst for me.

Do you have to put objective in resume? It was always emphasized in college. Thx.

I haven't updated mine in so long. I definitely need to update mine

I recently purchased your resume template and I cannot move the black banner to make more room on the template for more writing. Could you please give some more instructions on how to do this because at this point I cannot use the template I like and its useless to me, thanks!

Thanks for amazing video

If you do not have affiliations to add, what can be placed under this heading instead?

Also, anyway you could email the link for purchasing the template?

hi ma’am what can i put on my resume objective? thank you

Do you have any tips for resumes for a person who is making a career shift from the professional world to teaching? I recently passed the certification exam. I have 4 prior professional jobs and no teaching experience, and I’m struggling to fit my resume on one page. I have shortened the job descriptions to two bullet points each but I’m still struggling.

I purchased your resume template How do I remove some of the subheaders in black?

What do you put in your cover letter?

I wanna apply a job as an English teacher but I have no experience, how can I have a perfect resume. My English teacher told me he could write a great one based on my education and also where I learned my English (who was my teacher) but he is quite busy.

I provide tuition to students at their homes. How do I write that in my Resume? If you can please guide?

This was so helpful! Thank you so much! Do you have any tips for cover letters? I've redone mine a few times and I don't feel completely comfortable with my cover letter because I have been in a few different teacher's aide positions and am having a hard time adding them in a nice way to my letter. I appreciate any tips! Thanks again!

For recent college graduates who are applying for their first teaching job, would you recommend listing any high school achievements? or should i just stick to college achievements?

I personally believe that once you have graduated college, high school is irrelevant (unless it is an extremely important achievement). However, if your resume is kind of empty you could add it on there!

Also, as your experience grows, your resume needs to grow. My current resume is two-pages, and is what lead me to my current position. It needs to be quick to read. I was praised for a concise resume, that was easy for the principal to find important information, dispute it being two pages.
