Teacher resume template
A few notes:
•
Don’t use either the content or the format of this template as an exact model for your
resume – you don’t want your resume to look like everyone else’s from BC, do you?
•
There are no rules of resume writing! Nothing in your resume has to match this one
– your category headings; how you lay out each job or activity; your format and
font; your descriptions – NONE of these has to match this resume.
•
Limit your resume to one to two pages (two pages is generally fine for education resumes).
