... and salaries across all industries by $2K up to $50K more
by MASTER RESUME WRITER, Regina Pontow

As a Master Resume Writer of 15,000 resumes (many, many teacher resumes) and author of 13 resume and cover letters books ... my strategies and testimonials demonstrate the power of what you'll learn in this book.  To create PROVEN RESUMES & COVER LETTERS FOR TEACHERS, I gathered and analyzed 50 teacher resumes and identified 8 DISASTROUS MISTAKES 95% of all Teachers make when writing their resumes… my book TEACHES you how to avoid these mistakes and create a Teacher Resume that RANKS in the TOP 5%.

Next, I analyzed 50 Teacher Job Ads, categorizing all skills in them by grade levels and subjects being taught.  From this analysis I found there were 18 SKILL CATEGORIES repeatedly requested across all levels of Teaching jobs.  I then created Skill Headings for these 18 SKILL CATEGORIES for use in both Teacher Resumes and Cover Letters.  Utilizing these 18 SKILL CATEGORIES is critical in creating a Teacher Resume that puts you ahead of other Teacher Candidates in this HIGHLY COMPETITIVE field where many teachers find it hard to land full-time teaching jobs. 

In addition, to providing you with the TOP 18 TEACHING SKILL CATEGORIES and HUNDREDS of SKILL STATEMENTS … this book covers the following topics:

Now let’s compare a Before & After Teacher Resume from the book—BUT BEWARE—merely copying sections of Teaching Resumes or Teaching Cover Letters--that you think sound good--won’t get 50%-100%-200%-300%-400% more interviews--as many of my Teacher resume clients have reported ... nor will you land higher salaries in positions offered that are not salary-controlled by public school districts.  This means, if you’re applying for a Teaching position where salary is negotiable you won’t land salaries that are anywhere from 10%-50% higher because you don't apply the critical 7 steps below: 

1)      CORRECTLY IDENTIFY & MARKET YOUR TEACHING SKILLS

2)      ANALYZE TEACHER JOB ADS to identify top teaching skills Districts, Schools & Principals demand!

3)      PROVE HOW YOUR SKILLS solve each District’s School’s or Principal’s needs

4)      REPLACE WEAK JOB TITLES with Skill Headings that sell skills relevant to the Teaching Jobs you want

5)      WRITE POWERFUL CONTENT to quantify both your Teaching and Non-Teaching Job Experience

6)      USE DESIGN THAT DIRECTS attention and sells your skills in seconds

7)      GRAPH YOUR TEACHING & NON-TEACHING job titles and skill headings to determine how each one will either make your image go up, down or match the Teaching job and salary you want!

Take a moment and scroll down to the BEFORE resume and then scroll down to the AFTER resume.  At a quick glance, which one of these resumes presents this teacher as more qualified for an Elementary Teaching position?  If you could choose only one Elementary Teacher to interview whom would you choose from these two resumes?  Which resume does a better job of selling key skills needed as an Elementary Teacher … and does this in only a matter of seconds?  Which one uses Resume Design (bolding, skill headings and subheadings to direct and control the eye)?  … this short example illustrates one method I use to teach effective resume writing … buy guiding you through an analysis of what does and doesn’t work you’re actively involved in learning HOW TO CREATE A TEACHER RESUME THAT LANDS MORE INTERVIEWS AND HIGHER SALARY OFFERS!!
