<strong>CVs</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Cover</strong> <strong>Letters</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>New</strong> <strong>Teachers</strong> Curriculum Vitae (CV) <strong>and</strong> Résumé are the two names usually given to the pr<strong>of</strong>essional document used as part <strong>of</strong> the job application process. The term CV rather than Résumé will be used throughout this CV <strong>for</strong> convenience. Your CV will describe how your qualifications, skills, experience <strong>and</strong> personality make you a suitable c<strong>and</strong>idate <strong>for</strong> a particular teaching position or other opportunities such as a traineeship or scholarship. It is designed to get you interviews <strong>and</strong> if it doesn’t achieve this, see a Careers Consultant. A CV is essentially a self-marketing tool that demonstrates to the reader that you are worthy <strong>of</strong> serious consideration as a potential employee. It is a document that will need to be regularly reviewed if it is to keep pace with your pr<strong>of</strong>essional growth. There is no 'correct' <strong>for</strong>mat <strong>for</strong> a CV <strong>and</strong> so each person that you ask, <strong>and</strong> each book you refer to, will have different advice on content <strong>and</strong> layout. Employers also have their own ideas <strong>and</strong> preferences <strong>and</strong> whilst it is a challenge to produce a CV that will always impress, this is achievable <strong>and</strong> should be your goal. This h<strong>and</strong>out will assist you in the preparation <strong>of</strong> your teaching CV by providing advice on how to assemble the in<strong>for</strong>mation needed <strong>for</strong> good quality content, organise the content <strong>for</strong> maximum impact, layout the CV so that it looks pr<strong>of</strong>essional, <strong>and</strong> submit a CV by email. This h<strong>and</strong>out also includes a sample CV <strong>and</strong> <strong>Cover</strong> Letter. Making Personal Contact with the School <strong>and</strong> Early Childhood Centre For most work areas making direct contact with the employer is optional <strong>and</strong> may even be discouraged, but in teaching a school or centre visit, prior to making an application, can be an important part <strong>of</strong> the application process. If the school or centre is local, try to arrange time <strong>for</strong> a short visit. A well-timed, fifteen-minute visit can be sufficient to create a positive impression, view the physical environment <strong>and</strong> observe students <strong>and</strong> staff interactions. After a visit you will be better placed to decide whether to proceed with an application. If a visit is not possible aim <strong>for</strong> a chat over the phone with the school principal, head <strong>of</strong> department, head teacher or supervisor. � Set some objectives <strong>for</strong> the contact. What is your reason <strong>for</strong> making contact? � Do your homework be<strong>for</strong>eh<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> read the ECE centre’s or school’s ERO report <strong>and</strong> visit their website. � If appropriate provide brief in<strong>for</strong>mation about yourself be<strong>for</strong>eh<strong>and</strong> via email. � If appropriate organise a folder with your CV, academic certificates <strong>and</strong> letters <strong>of</strong> reference to take with you. � Carefully note the name <strong>of</strong> the person you will be meeting. Greet your host by name. A h<strong>and</strong>shake <strong>and</strong> small talk establishes rapport. � Re-state the purpose <strong>of</strong> your visit <strong>and</strong> keep to the time you asked <strong>for</strong>. Take brief notes. � Thank them <strong>for</strong> their time. Send a thank you email or card. Creating Your CV Brainstorming To develop an effective CV, you need detailed, reflective in<strong>for</strong>mation about yourself to draw from. The following self-evaluation exercise will help you to start writing down the in<strong>for</strong>mation you need <strong>and</strong> will take at least two hours. It’s probably best to do it on paper but you could create a word document <strong>and</strong> then copy <strong>and</strong> paste in<strong>for</strong>mation from it into a CV template. Create a list <strong>of</strong> all your education, work, community <strong>and</strong> leisure experiences, leaving plenty <strong>of</strong> space between each item. Your next task is to add the dates <strong>for</strong> each experience <strong>and</strong> describe briefly, using bullet points, what you did, how you interacted with anyone else involved e.g. your peers, team members, supervisors or other third parties, skills you developed <strong>and</strong> any ‘proud moments’ or achievements. At this stage write everything down even if it seems irrelevant. Not all the in<strong>for</strong>mation collected in your brainstorming exercise will be used in every CV you submit but you should store this in<strong>for</strong>mation as a resource <strong>for</strong> customising your CV <strong>and</strong> as a preparation tool <strong>for</strong> interviews. Consider where you’ll store this in<strong>for</strong>mation. <strong>Victoria</strong> CareerHub is available to all students <strong>and</strong> Alumni <strong>of</strong> <strong>Victoria</strong> <strong>University</strong> <strong>and</strong> could be an ideal place to do this. There is more in<strong>for</strong>mation in a later section <strong>of</strong> this h<strong>and</strong>out.
