HOW TO WRITE A WINNING TEACHER CV

When you apply to become a teacher, you would more than likely first be required to submit a CV for the position. Within this CV or resume, you will need to include all of your personal information, your qualifications and your experience. However, what is most important is that you can demonstrate the assessable qualities, values and skills required of a teacher within the document. When assessing the CV the assessors will be looking for certain keywords and evidence of where you have demonstrated certain skills and values which are vital to the profession and their organisation.

The best way that you can guarantee success in this early stage is to submit a brilliant CV which stands out and convinces the recruiter that you are a worthy candidate for the teaching position and place your CV in the YES pile and not the bin.

Within this guide, we will teach you how you can easily extract the required skills and competencies from reading the job description, and how you can match these to suit your circumstances and experiences. Not only, that, but we have also included 8 fully editable professional CV templates, which come already pre-loaded with skills and competencies which are required for all teaching positions. Your task is to simply match these to your experiences.

SKILLS REQUIRED FOR A TEACHER’S CV

Being a teacher is far more than a job; it requires a unique type of person to excel in the position and provide the right level of care, understanding and patience for the students which you are educating. To ensure that you are capable of performing competently in the role, you will be required to demonstrate throughout the selection process a number of skills which are relevant to the role of teacher.

For you, we have listed a few of the transferable skills you could include:

• Teachers need to be reliable and responsible, tasked with providing education to large numbers of pupils.

• Adapting to change is an important aspect of the role, as, at times, you will need to be able to respond to any changes in curriculum and action this into your lesson planning. You will also most likely be required to stand in for an absent colleague.

• Follow and adhere to rules, procedures, and school codes of conduct.

• An ability to learn and absorb large amounts of job-specific information.

• Be a great communicator and be able to communicate verbally and in writing.

• Have collaborated with people from different cultures and backgrounds.

• Take responsibility for your own personal and professional development.

• Teachers have very busy schedules and need to possess efficient time management skills.

• Be able to react calmly in pressurised situations.

Included in the guide is a full list of skills, competencies, and values that you should include on your CV! Not only this, but we will demonstrate how these can be applied to a winning CV for any teaching position.

ADVICE FOR SUBMITTING THE PERFECT TEACHER CV 

how to submit a cv with no experience

READ THE JOB DESCRIPTION AND FIND THE ESSENTIAL SKILLS

To give yourself the best chance of success, you will need to read the job description thoroughly to understand the skills and attributes required for the role. Also, ensure you find out the organisation’s values. Once you have all of this information, ensure your CV is tailored to match it.

THINK, THEN MATCH the skills!

Once you have determined the required skills, competencies, and values for the position you are applying for, write them down, and then stop to think. Have you ever had a similar related experience to the skill being assessed? If yes, then make a note of it as you can implement this as part of your CV. This could be from any area of your life, school, university, work, interests or free time.

SKILLS FOR CV WITH NO EXPERIENCE

UNDERSTAND THE PERSONAL REQUIREMENTS

Included within this guide is a list of powerful sample keywords, phrases, and sentences that we feel are a close match for the assessable competencies that you are likely to be assessed against when applying for a job as a teacher. Please ensure you read the job description fully for any specific organisation requirements.

Know what is on your cv

If you are successful in getting through the CV stage, the potential employer will retain your CV and will refer to it during the selection process. You should remember that, if you say you are good at something on your CV, you will be asked to back those claims up with evidence at the interview. For example, if you write on your CV that you are “totally customer-focused and will always uphold the values and service standards of the company” you will most probably have to provide examples of when you have already demonstrated these claims, during your interview.
