When seeking teaching candidates, many schools are eager to hire perspective employees who possess the organizational skills necessary to complete the duties associated with teaching. If you are trying to sell yourself to a hiring committee, highlighting your teaching skill may prove advantageous. To increase the chances that the mention of your organizational skills makes a difference when it comes to getting that job you seek, fully describe your organizational skills and make it clear to the hiring committee why these skills would make you a desirable candidate.

Express the importance of organization. If asked, for example, which skills you think are most important for teachers to possess, state that you view organization as an asset. By doing so, you can set the scene for your discussion of your personal organizational skills and get the hiring committee thinking about why organizational skills may prove useful.

Give specific examples of organizational skills you possess. Instead of simply saying that you are "well organized," give specifics. Tell the hiring committee that in previous jobs you have kept meticulous files, organized complex schedules or set up classrooms or other workplaces.

Provide evidence of your skills. If you have anything that you can use to prove the organizational claims you make, bring this evidence. For example, if a past employer mentioned your highly developed organizational skills on an employee evaluation, bring this evaluation as a testament to your abilities. Similarly, if you have photos of organizational systems that you set up, bring these images, so your interviewer can see your skill firsthand.

Explain how each skill relates to the task of teaching. If the examples you gave of your organizational skill were not directly related to teaching, explain how they could related, so the hiring committee is not left wondering how these organizational skills will cross over into the realm of teaching. For example, if you set up an office filing system at a previous job, explain that you could use these skills to set up student files, allowing you to better learn about your students and keep records of their strengths and weaknesses.
