Re: English Teacher Job Application

Dear Mr. Noel,

I am writing this letter to submit my application for the post of 'English Teacher' as mentioned
in the advertisement given in the daily news bulletin 'Swift News Express', dated 05 Sep,
2008. I have enclosed all the required documents along with the resume as asked.

I would like to highlight on certain facts which I feel are beneficial for the school and
important for my selection. I hold 5 years of experience in teaching English as a subject for
grade 5-8 students. Prior to starting my teaching career, I had completed my Bachelor's in
Education (B.Ed) from Connecticut University, with major in English.

I began my career as a Teacher for students of grade 3-5, and soon I was promoted and
assigned the English classes for students of grade 5-8. It was because of my teaching style,
and the respect and love I got from my students. I have always strived hard to keep my classes
as interesting as possible by using different ways to conduct classes. Understanding the age
group of the students, I have always tried to incorporate fun in my classes, which keeps the
interest of students alive, and inspires them to take initiatives.

I am sure I can implement the same at your school also, and together as a team we can
successfully impart quality education to our students. This would in turn bring glory to the
school, and boost its credibility. I always adhere to the moral conduct to be followed, so as
my students imbibe high moral values. I always try to lead by example, and be a motivational
figure to my students.

I would highly appreciate it if you could give me an opportunity to meet you in person and
discuss the job in detail, and how my skills can be helpful in meeting the organizational goals.
Thanking you for your time and consideration, and looking forward to hear a favorable reply
soon.

Regards

Dear Mrs Jackson

I read about the Elementary Teacher position advertised on Teachers.com with great
interest as my qualifications and experience closely match your requirements. Therefore,
please accept my resume for your review and consideration and allow me to briefly
explain how I can contribute to your district.

Since graduating eight years ago with a Bachelor of Arts degree with a specialization in
both early childhood and elementary education I have worked in a variety of educational
settings. I have developed many valuable skills while teaching diverse groups of students
including both children with learning disabilities and gifted children. I am adept at
individualizing the curriculum to meet each child's different needs and designing
resourceful lesson plans that accommodate differing learning abilities and interests.

I enjoy being creative and utilizing new ideas and approaches to improve the learning
environment for my students. I have incorporated a variety of hands on activities, fun
manipulatives and learning projects to inspire and motivate the students. This also
includes the innovative integration of technology across the curriculum.

I am passionate about empowering elementary school children and helping them to

develop their full potential. Part of this process includes close interaction with parents to
encourage participation and reinforce learning in the home while building the child's self
esteem and confidence.

I am well aware of the high standards of your district and it would be a wonderful
challenge for me to be part of your school staff. I look forward to discussing this
opportunity with you at your earliest convenience. Please feel free to contact me via
phone or e-mail.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to speaking with you soon.

Sincerely

Tania Teacher

CV

9. INTRODUCTION The curriculum vitae (also referred to as the vita or CV) are a summary of an
individual’s educational background and experiences. The CV is used when applying for teaching and
administrative positions in academia or for a fellowship or grant. In contrast to a CV, a resume is used
to summarize an individual’s education and experience related to a specific career objective in the
private or public sector. The CV is the key document in securing an interview with a search
committee. Other important elements of the application process include the application or “cover”
letter and letters of reference. In addition, applicants are sometimes asked to include transcripts,
teaching evaluations and research proposals. WRITING YOUR CURRICULUM VITAE It is crucial to have
the CV represent your experience, accomplishments, expertise, and special professional qualities in
the most positive manner possible. The visual impact of the CV provides the initial message about
your attention to detail and thoroughness. • Is it well designed, organized and attractive? • Are
categories of information clearly labeled? • Is it easy to find certain sections of interest to search
committee members? • Has your advisor reviewed and critiqued it? • Have you avoided using
acronyms? • Has it been prepared on a computer with letter quality print? • Has it been proofread
several times to eliminate any typos? • Has it been copied on heavyweight, smooth finished white
paper? While contents of a CV will vary from field to field, it is worth noting some of the major
categories and information typically included. Attached are sample resumes which reflect stylistic
differences and, to some degree, conventions of the fields represented. Your CV should be long
enough to thoroughly present all your qualifications in the categories discussed below. That will
probably take two, three, four, or more pages.

Typical Format:

IDENTIFYING INFORMATION: Name, address, phone, back-up number and email. Leave off date of
birth, marital status, number of children or other information that is not job related or does not add
to your qualifications

EDUCATION: Begin with your most recent or expected degree. List degrees, majors, institutions, and
dates of completion (or expected date) in reverse chronological order. Also list minors, subfields, and
honors.
DISSERTATION OR THESIS: Provide the title and a brief description of your work, its theoretical
framework, your conclusions, your director (and readers, if their names or departments add breadth
or new perspectives to your area of research). For engineering and sciences, if you decide to describe
your research more completely in the “Experience” section, you may want to simply list the title of
your dissertation in this section. For a new candidate in humanities or social sciences, the
dissertation should be featured prominently in this section.

AWARDS, HONORS, FELLOWSHIPS, SCHOLARSHIPS: Recognition of scholarship by the university or

within the field is very important. Memberships in honorary societies belong in this section as well,
unless they have already been listed under “Education.

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE: This category is often divided into several possible categories such as
“Research Experience,” “Consulting,” “Fieldwork,” “Teaching Experience,” or “Postdoctoral Work,” as
well as many others, depending on your discipline. Reverse chronological order is again the rule. 3

ACADEMIC SERVICE: List all departmental and university groups, committees and task forces on
which you served. Student groups are valid as well. You should demonstrate that you have exhibited
leadership qualities, and you will assume certain departmental administrative duties if hired. (See
Rivera-Corot CVs).

MEMBERSHIPS OR PROFESSIONAL AFFILIATIONS: List all professional groups and offices held.

LANGUAGES: List all you read/speak and note those in which you are fluent, proficient, or have a
basic knowledge of.

DOSSIER OR REFERENCE FILE: Many applicants state that their file is available from the Career
Development Center, Stanford University, 94305-3081, (650) 723-1584. It may be useful in some
disciplines to list your references as well so that they may be contacted by phone. This packet
contains samples of application letters (cover letters) which illustrate most of the crucial information
that needs to be communicated when responding to job notices. Use departmental letterhead, if
appropriate. The most important aspect of your letters is that they should be written individually to
respond to each position. This means that you must give some thought to how your background
matches the qualifications of the position. In addition, your letters must indicate a sincere interest in
academic life and in the institution to which you are applying. State the specific position for which
you are applying and where you learned about it. If there is not an advertised position, explain who
suggested you write or why you are writing. Let the reader know who you are, what your field is, and
where you are attending school. Indicate any special interest or background you have that may be of
interest to their department or institution. These paragraphs will vary according to your field and
possibly the types of positions for which you will be applying (teaching emphasis vs. research
emphasis). Discuss your dissertation or thesis (or most recent research), what it accomplishes, your
methodology, conclusions, and the implications of your work. This may take more than one
paragraph, but you should write to a general audience as opposed to specialists in your field. Discuss
future plans for research or research interest as well. You should also point out supporting fields in
which you have expertise or enumerate the variety of classes you could teach. If the position requires
teaching, be enthusiastic about your experience and discuss the courses you have developed or your
teaching style Deal with logistics, namely, are you having a reference file sent and a writing
sample/chapter of your dissertation? If so, mention that you look forward to meeting with the
committee and to their inviting you to an interview.
