Tip for Resume writing

Recently the recruitment agencies have lots of automated tools which do not require them to go through all the resumes. From the total resumes received they just provide keyword search based on which they get a chunk of resumes and then they shortlist the candidates.

Hence always remember to update your resume as per the requirement and mention some teaching jargons and technical terms related to the job.

Keywords in Resumes

Good point Tutor! So we should really remember to place keywords in our resumes so that they are found in automated searches.

However, the majority of jobs applied for in the teaching profession do not go thru such elaborate automated screening processes. Unless it's a huge recruitment agency that deals with a number of different industries, than I think you can be assured your resume is manually reviewed each time.

Re: Tip for Resume writing

This is very good advice. Not only will this be good for automated tools, but keywords appropriate to your industry will "jump out" at prospective employers.
