A resume is an important tool for employers because it is a synopsis of your training, education, and experience. Since most employers spend no more than 30 seconds looking at a resume, your resume should be no more than one page long. Therefore, your resume must stand out in order to make the initial cut. Obviously, this is no simple task. There are no standard resume formats to use, so anything you devise is acceptable.

A resume should have plenty of "white space" because it makes it easier to read. Margins should be fairly wide. Use different fonts and bolding to bring our eye to different parts of the resume. At the top of the resume you should have your name and it should be easily readable. Under that you should provide your address and contact information. Then, you should have a statement indicating what position you are interested in and a summary of your qualifications for this position.

Next, list your academic history. This should include your teaching experience rather than specific work experience. Remember you are not being hired in capacity except teaching. If you do not have teaching experience, then emphasize any training that you may have done. Indicate the courses you have taught and if they are majors or non-majors courses, graduate or undergraduate courses, and if they are onground or online.

The next section should indicate your educational history. Include the college you attended, its location, the dates of attendance, your major, and your degree. Also, you should list any certifications that you may hold, especially if it is germane to the teaching position. Another good idea is to list professional societies and organizations that you are a member of, when you joined, and indicate if you are an officer. This demonstrates professionalism. Finally, you should indicate any achievements that you have made and all honors that you have been awarded. This demonstrates that you are indeed an experienced and outstanding professional in your field.

Always remember when preparing a resume that you must design it in such a way that your information is easily and quickly obtained. There are many sources online and in the bookstore that provide you with sample resumes. Use the one that fits your information most closely. Alternatively you can have your resume designed by a professional resume service. Since your resume is so important, a resume service is indeed worthy of consideration.
