School recruiters look for qualification, board and subject fit, then results. A tailored teaching resume states your B.Ed and eligibility tests, the classes and boards you have taught, and the outcomes your students achieved.

Experienced: List board, grades and subjects up front, then results and responsibilities such as class teacher, coordinator or exam in-charge.

Frequently asked questions

What qualifications should a teacher resume list first?

Your degree, B.Ed, and eligibility tests such as CTET or TET, followed by the subjects and boards you can teach.

How can a teacher show results on a resume?

Use class averages, pass percentages, board result improvements and participation in competitions, and give the number of students and the timeframe.

How do I tailor a teaching resume for a different board or school?

Match the board, grade levels and pedagogy terms in the posting, and put your closest experience first. Be honest about boards you have not taught.

Do I include a photo on a teacher resume?

Some schools ask for one on the application form. On the resume itself it is optional, and a plain text layout reads best through ATS.
