Guest Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 Mmm, sent a reply yesterday but it doesn't seem to have attached I would just say look closely at the job spec, check out any extra info about the school that you can glean from the ad or from their web site. See how your experience and expertise match up and sell yourself BIG time. Can you offer anything extra like playing an instrument etc? As for CV, not sure I can be much help. Obviously the usual: qualifications , previous jobs and personal interests. Perhaps also any courses/training you have been on, positions of responsibility you have had or still have, clubs you run etc? (I'd quite like to know what others do for CV's too!) Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck 42824[/snapback] Hi again, have been thinking about your letter. Is it for a teaching post in a school? If so, then you need to outline in your letter how your experience would relate to the year group or postion that you are applying for. What can you offer in addition to the main job: eg extra curricular clubs. Mel C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
