Five Critical Resume Strategies for Teachers

Past Newsletter Articles

Simple, INTERVIEW TO WIN by becoming a skilled, confident interviewee, which will significantly increase the number of job offers you receive. Result ... more opportunities are available, which may result in a better position.

Think about this...when you walk into an interview you will have about 20 – 60 minutes to sell your value to the school district. This makes your interview question answers critical – they need to be clear, concise, and relevant. Whatever you do – don't ramble.

Wouldn't it be wonderful to confidently answer difficult interview questions? 

You can. At A+ Resumes-for-Teachers.com we will help prepare you for a "successful interview". Candace Davies is a Certified Employment Interview Professional, Certified Electronic Career Coach, and a Associate Certified Career Coach, and skilled in helping you find your unique selling points and stand out from the other candidates. You will learn how to control the interview through effectively communicating your "relevant" educational expertise, skills, and accomplishments. 

Candace will help you get through this nerve-racking job search stage by coaching you how to present your skills in the best possible way. You  will be able to demonstrate yourself with confidence, answer difficult questions with ease, and sell your talents during the interview process. 

"I Don't Live Close To You – How do You Prepare Me"?   

Very easily. Candace conducts all interview coaching via phone. It works wonderfully. You decide when it would be convenient for you and a time is set. Don't worry about long distance charges, we will be calling you at the agree time. (Available in Canada and the United States, restrictions will apply to International clients)

"How do You Coach me to Interview With Style and Confidence? "

A series of difficult questions is prepared specifically for you, they may be generalized, resume based, situational, behavioral, or stress. Actually, many teacher interviews are based on role-playing or hypothetical. You then answer – and Candace offers assistance by explaining how you could have answered and why. Why is important, because many questions have the same underlying purpose. 

"Your interview coaching was extremely helpful. I  interviewed today, at ABC School District, it went really great. I felt so confident and the words came out of my mouth  the way they were suppose to. You have given me some great advice that I will be able to use it throughout my career. You are a very knowledgeable and thoughtful person. I will recommend you to anyone who needs help with their career. Once again, thanks."
