  When a teaching vacancy is advertised, it may elicit hundreds of responses from well qualified candidates with a keen interest in the position. That's why it's so important to write a cover letter that instantly commands attention and persuades the recipient to give your resume the attention it deserves.

  Cover letters in the teaching profession usually follow the same fundamental principles that apply to most other career fields:

  • convey a professional image in the style and appearance of your letter
  • make sure to put your name, address and contact telephone number in the letter as well as on the resume
  • address the recipient by name in the opening
  • identify the position for which you are applying
  • offer compelling but succinct content that highlights your most significant skills, experience and training
  • request an interview in a strong closing paragraph that emphasizes your interest in the position

  It's very important to address the superintendent, principal or other hiring representative by name in your salutation. Everyone will be aware that you're probably making several applications for different jobs -- but personalizing each letter is further indication of your specific enthusiasm for a vacancy.

  You can take this targeted approach further by matching relevant features of your teaching history to the requirements of a position. You'll have ample scope to focus on key skills in your resume, of course -- and as part of your job application you may be asked to complete a form which includes space for a personal statement. You'll also probably have time to expand on your educational philosophy in an interview. But a short, one page cover letter will give you the opportunity to focus on points that make you a persuasive candidate to interview.

  These questions may help you to decide what aspects of your application are most likely to impress:

  • do you have qualifications that make you particularly well-suited?
  • have you undertaken relevant courses or training as part of your on-going professional development?

    Do You Have The Perfect Job?

    The Fallacy of Performance Reviews
    Every year the dance begins. Supervisors and managers know they’ll soon have to do the annual performance review for all of their employees. They get the notice from HR reminding them of the deadlines. They get copies of the forms that will be used. They may even get some training on how to use the forms or conduct the reviews more effectively. Every few years t
