FROM THE PRINCIPAL’S DESK:

“Do not use ‘cutesy’ email addresses on your professional resume. hellokitty@... is not a professional contact."

10. Uses a Long-winded and Meaningless Objective

Go back and read Chapter 7. Please.

11. Neglects Certification

If you are applying for a specific position, a principal needs to know that you are (or will be) appropriately certified for that position. If there is any doubt in her or his mind about whether you have (or will have) the necessary teaching certificate, then it is highly likely that your application will find its way into the “NO” pile. Don’t leave any doubt – make sure it is listed on your resume. Triple-check this one.

12. A Photo of Yourself

I apologize in advance if I step on your ego with this piece of advice, but your looks will have nothing to do with your success in obtaining a teaching position. Principals aren’t concerned with putting together a good looking faculty, they are more interested in assembling the best qualified faculty who can address the academic needs of all students. Submitting a photo won’t be part of the decision-making process. In short, your face won’t get you an interview, but your talents and desire will! Post all your “selfies” on Facebook, don’t include any of them with your resume.

FROM THE PRINCIPAL’S DESK:

“Don’t include photographs or glamour shots. I’m not going to hire you based on your good looks.”
