Know Yourself
To get the teaching job you really want, you have to wage a targeted marketing 
campaign to sell yourself. You have to create the impression that you are the only who can do the job the way the school wants it to be done. And you have to do it by making the most of the brief opportunities you will be given to prove yourself. It is your job to show how your experiences have prepared you for the position. To the extent that you know yourself and express your individuality, you will stand out from the crowd of candidates applying for teaching jobs in competitive schools.
TIPS:
The Personal Profile enables you to take stock of yourself. It helps you to identify your individual talents and most important accomplishments. To construct a Personal Profile would take some time. Don’t wait until a job opportunity arises to begin this task. Instead, do it when you have enough time to concentrate on the assignment in a careful, analytical fashion. You can download a copy of the Personal Profile here.

Creating a Spectacular Resume
The first step to getting a teaching job is to put together a resume that captures who you are and the experiences that you have with the field. If you are just recently graduated from college, you should be sure to include all of the teaching internships that you completed in detail. If you are searching for a new position with teaching experience under your belt, you should include where you taught, for how long you taught, and the grade level(s) that you are experienced in working with. Your resume is your foot into the door, so it has to be accurate and stand apart from the crowd. You can download a copy of the Resume Reservoir here.
Remember: The work you do now, when you have the opportunity to be thorough and accurate, will save you a great deal of anxiety and time when you have a deadline to meet.
