Like previous posts, I'm not really interested in non teaching experience unless maybe it would help with classroom--experience with kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/two-page-resume-typical-for-teacher#post-1546507 Fri, 04 Apr 2014 13:11:18 +0000 mrsjazz 1546507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Corduroy: Honestly, I'd tell her to get it down to one-page as she is a recent college graduate and the 2-page resume is going to be frowned upon by employers. I just had to sit down with one of my interns and help her get her resume down (but she is in grad school and was a teacher for 3 years, so this isn't for her first job). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/two-page-resume-typical-for-teacher#post-1546463 Fri, 04 Apr 2014 12:55:47 +0000 Mrs. J 1546463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Less white space! I condensed mine to one page.. No one wants to read more than one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/two-page-resume-typical-for-teacher#post-1546413 Fri, 04 Apr 2014 12:42:52 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 1546413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree. Mine is two now, but I've been teaching for nearly 10 years. No one will care about any non-teaching related experience or anything pre-college if that will help her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/two-page-resume-typical-for-teacher#post-1546174 Fri, 04 Apr 2014 11:12:04 +0000 Anagram 1546174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Corduroy: yup. 1 page is better. If this is her first teaching job, she really doesn't need ALL her previous experience in college-type jobs on there (like waiting tables at 3 restaurants, working retails at 2 different mall stores, etc.)</p> <p>And less white space. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/two-page-resume-typical-for-teacher#post-1546169 Fri, 04 Apr 2014 11:10:49 +0000 MrsH 1546169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Corduroy: gah, I'd tell her to cut it to one page. No one wants to look at a two page resume for an entry level position. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/two-page-resume-typical-for-teacher#post-1546160 Fri, 04 Apr 2014 11:08:34 +0000 Corduroy 1546160@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My SIL is trying to get her first job out of college as a teacher and she showed me her resume. The content is fine but I was surprised that it's two pages with lots of white space. Is that typical for a teacher resume? </p> <p>I interview candidates in my field a fair amount and we give huge eye rolls to multiple page resumes for entry-level positions. </p> <p>I should mind my own business and probably won't say anything either way. Just curious. </p>
