Make sure it matches your teaching objective, and the job opening you are submitting your resume for.

Are you an educator trying to find a new job? Trying to write a resume? It can be difficult, we know!

Here’s a tip. If you have some teaching experience, and are applying for a SPECIFIC job opening (not a cattle-call type of interview) where you know exactly what the job requirements are, consider adding an “Objective” section to you resume. Put it at the top, below your name and address.

An objective on an educator resume is recommended because it identifies what areas you want to teach and are qualified to teach. In addition, if you are interested in coaching any extracurricular activities, you can include it in the objective or in the cover letter. Make sure you are specific and relevant to the particular job opening you are applying for.
