Writing a Teaching CV
Dos
● Proof-read your CV and fix the mistakes.
● Look at adverts to see what they require. Consider using similar wording in your CV.
● Make sure your layout is consistent layout
● Put your DOB rather than your age
● Remember that putting your DOB and civil status is usually optional
● Include an updated professional pictures.
● State that you’re a native speaker.
● Include contact information, such as your email and phone. Usually an address is optional.
● State when you are available to start working
● Give explanations about your jobs.
● Put the information in reverse chronological order. Meaning your last job is first.
● Play up any teaching or training experience that you have. If you don’t have teaching experience, make the most of it. Did you train new employees? Did you create schedules? Did you chair meetings? All of these can be valuable for a teacher.

Don’ts
● Include unnecessary information such as your passport, Social Security Number, or license.
● Send extra information such as scans of your passport, degrees, or certificates.
● List too many jobs. You don’t have to list all the jobs that you’ve had; the last three should be sufficient.
● Use informal language or contractions.
● Overcrowd the page. Make it easy to read.
