What is the proper etiquette for a teaching job hunt?
I am looking for a position as professor of biology HS. Since I've been out of the workforce for a while, I would like to know whether to send the managers a copy of my resume and cover letter, instead of going through human resources?
Each district is different, but you probably have to go through human resources. Human resources offices Many accept e-mail copies of resumes and cover letters. Personally, I still believe that a copy is better as it ensures format and fonts look like you want. It also requires them to review your personal information, rather than run through a computer that scans for buzzwords. In addition to sending your resume vitae to Human Resources, I also wish to send a copy to the directors of the schools they want to work. Include a nice letter to let the manager know why you interested in school. Most districts give principals full control over who decides to hire. Human resources office usually houses documentation candidates and some candidates submitted documents to the director when hiring. If you send your resume directly to the director, he / she can ask her apply in person and give an interview. That's how I got my two teaching jobs. Perhaps this book can help you out - there is information about how apply for teaching jobs, resume and cover letter information, interviews and more common questions and answers.
