position.
Best for:
 Fresh graduates with limited teaching experience.
 Applicants who want to highlight skills, training, and achievements rather than employment.
Features:
 Centers around what you can do, not where or when you did it.
 Divides the resume into skill categories (e.g., “Instructional Skills,” “Leadership Skills,”
“Technology Integration”).
Why use it:
If you haven’t had much teaching experience yet, this type lets you show your potential and
transferable skills learned from internships, school activities, or volunteer work.

 Those with some work experience and strong training background.
Features:
 Highlights your key strengths and then shows where you applied them.

teaching history are equally visible.

21. Common Mistakes to Avoid
21
1. Using unprofessional email addresses
🛑 Example: cutiepie24@gmail.com or pe_teacher_lover@yahoo.com
✅ Instead: Use your real name (e.g., juan.delacruz@gmail.com).
Why:
Your email address reflects your professionalism. Employers will contact you through this, so
it must appear formal, mature, and trustworthy. A silly or casual email address can create a
poor first impression even before they read your resume.

22. Common Mistakes to Avoid
22
2. Including irrelevant or outdated information
🛑 Example: Hobbies like “watching K-drama,” or outdated experiences from high school.
✅ Instead: Focus only on details relevant to teaching, education, and recent experiences.
Why:
Hiring managers only have limited time to review your resume. Unnecessary or outdated
information clutters your CV and distracts them from your qualifications that truly matter.

23. Common Mistakes to Avoid
23
3. Using lengthy paragraphs instead of bullet points
🛑 Example: Writing full paragraphs to describe your teaching duties.
✅ Instead: Use clear bullet points that start with action verbs (e.g., “Facilitated PE classes,”
“Developed lesson plans”).
Why:
Bullet points make your resume easier to scan and highlight your achievements efficiently.
Employers typically spend less than 10 seconds on an initial read, so clarity and brevity are
key.

24. Common Mistakes to Avoid
24
4. Submitting a generic resume for all job applications
🛑 Example: Using the same resume for both a PE teaching job and an office job.
✅ Instead: Tailor your resume to match the job description, emphasizing relevant skills and
experiences.
Why:
Employers can easily tell if you’ve sent a one-size-fits-all resume. A customized resume
shows genuine interest and effort, increasing your chances of getting noticed and shortlisted.

25. Common Mistakes to Avoid
25
5. Having spelling and grammar errors
🛑 Example: “Developed lesson planns for studnts to particpate in.”
✅ Instead: Proofread your resume multiple times or have someone else check it.
Why:
Errors in spelling or grammar reflect carelessness and poor attention to detail. For teaching
applicants—especially in English proficiency contexts—this is a major red flag. Accuracy
shows you value quality and communication.

26. Common Mistakes to Avoid
26
6. Adding false information — integrity matters!
🛑 Example: Claiming you attended a seminar or have skills you don’t actually possess.
✅ Instead: Be truthful and transparent about your credentials and experiences.
Why:
Employers verify your information through interviews and references. Lying can damage
your credibility and reputation, which are crucial in the teaching profession. Remember:
honesty builds long-term trust and respect.

27. The Resume in the Context of a Mock Job Interview
27
In your mock interview:
 Your resume will be your script—it will guide the interviewer’s
questions.
 Be familiar with everything written on your CV—you must be ready to
elaborate.
 The way you present and explain your experiences shows your
confidence and communication skills, key aspects of English
proficiency.
