![]() | Resume length I like to put my resume on two pages, but it seems that the conventional wisdom that I read is that you should get everything on one page. If I do that, I can't give enough information. I think it's most important to give information about yourself to help the hiring person make a decision. |

![]() | Re: Resume length The trick is to engage your potential employers with relevant information but leave them wanting to know more about you. Remember also yours will probably not be the only résumé they are reading so keep it clean, keep it professional and most of all keep it relevant! Your résumé should include all relevant experience you have that might pertain to TESL/TEFL. This includes any prior teaching positions, foreign language experience or working with children, even private tutoring. If you do not have any teaching experience yet but have worked in some capacity in an educational environment then try and include that. Don’t include your work at the ice cream shop when you were 15! Keep it relevant. Along with your CV you might wan to add a cover letter (no longer than one page) where you enthusiastically explain why you want to teach and why you are qualified to do so. For more on how to write a successful resume see these ICALwiki articles Resume Video CV/Resume

![]() | Re: Resume length A brief cover letter can be a great addition to your application, however make sure you take the time to make it applicable to the role. A lot of people can't be bothered writing a cover letter, which is exactly the reason why you should! |

![]() | Re: Resume length Employers spend less than 45 seconds reading a resume (and about as much time reading the cover letter). If either is longer than a page it won't get read. You should only have more than one page for your resume if you have extensive experience or if you're sending a CV that describes research projects.
