Are you selling yourself short on your resume? Here's how to get more interviews:
Too often, I see talented educators list basic responsibilities: "Taught 5th grade", "Created lesson plans", "Graded assignments".
To land more interviews you need to reframe these to showcase your true impact!
Research shows that quantifiable achievements are 40% more likely to capture hiring managers' attention, even when transitioning industries.
Transform these teaching duties into powerful impact statements:
Before: "Taught reading curriculum to 28 students"
After: "Designed and implemented differentiated reading program that raised class reading scores by 32% over state average, with 90% of students showing 2+ grade levels of growth"
Before: "Created lesson plans"
After: "Developed project-based STEM curriculum adopted by entire grade level, reaching 150+ students and leading to 45% increase in science fair participation"
Before: "Managed classroom behaviour"
After: "Introduced positive behaviour system that reduced disruptions by 60% and was adopted as school-wide model, impacting 500+ students"
💡Pro Tip: Every teaching achievement can be measured through:
✅ Student growth metrics
✅ Program adoption rates
✅ Parent/student satisfaction scores
✅ Resource optimisation
✅ Cross-departmental influence
Your classroom impact tells a powerful story of leadership, innovation, and results – exactly what employers seek!
If you're struggling to highlight the impact you've made in your roles, I can help you with a new resume!
