Essential Information Required in a Teacher’s Job CV
Education and teaching profession is more specialized compared to other professions and office jobs. There is diversity in teaching positions according to subjects, pedagogical expertise, teaching certificates, and educational programs and courses. However, a teacher’s CV needs to have and fully express the following 4 important pieces of information to demonstrate the candidate’s capabilities to schools and centers:
Personal Teaching Philosophy
Clearly stating personal teaching philosophy in a teacher’s CV will serve as an introduction expressing the overall personality, viewpoint, and teaching style of the teacher. Present complete and focused ideas so that recruiters can better understand your thoughts, teaching methods, and how you convey knowledge to students. You should filter and choose truly “scoring” words to create a good impression.
Emphasize Teaching Qualifications
The education sector and teaching profession have strict requirements and high demands, requiring teachers to go through proper training. Therefore, when recruiting for teaching positions, schools, centers, etc., will be very interested in and prioritize candidates’ educational qualifications as well as experience and teaching history in their CV.
Therefore, in a teacher’s CV, especially for teachers with teaching experience, you should highlight it with teaching certificates, additional degrees, and achievements to clearly demonstrate personal capacity to handle teaching duties and student management well.
Clear Measurement and Quantification of Achievements
Certainly in a teacher’s CV, your achievements should be clearly stated and quantified with specific numbers rather than listing basic duties or general work without specific accomplishments. Schools or centers will also want to see outstanding achievements and work results of candidates to make clearer and more accurate judgments about the candidate’s capabilities and suitability for the position being recruited.
If you are a teacher with teaching experience, this needs special attention. Listing outstanding achievements and work results obtained during the teaching process will be a “plus point” for you and make your teacher CV stand out more in the eyes of recruiters.
Clear Understanding of Personal Goals and Work
To create an eye-catching and impressive CV for experienced teachers, candidates need to clearly show who they are and their goals when applying for the job and what they will do. Teaching is a profession that requires you to have specific orientation capabilities; if you yourself show vagueness and generality about everything in your job application CV, it will cause recruiters to not highly evaluate your capabilities and may reject your CV right from the start.
Therefore, when applying for any teacher recruitment position, you need to overview and clearly understand the description, requirements of the teaching position, job responsibilities to then express clear goal orientation in your CV that is most suitable for the position you are applying for.
