[@MrEricmadera]

Kathleen, love your professional videos. I follow them for guidance in applying for a math teaching job in Alaska. Your technical writing skills are impressive and thanks for the resume templates. Best regards!

Hi! Teacher here - should I keep former school teaching jobs in present tense? or past tense? Thanks!

[@KathleenJasperEdD]

Great question. I use past tense. However, it doesn't really matter. Just make sure the bullets in your resume match. If you use present, use that the whole time. I do recommend past just to eliminate confusion. Thanks for watching :)

[@dorisaranz8464]

thank you. this resume video is great ❤. I am using Canva too

[@KathleenJasperEdD]

Canva is amazing. You just have to be careful if you are uploading it to a job website. Sometimes the software doesn't pic up everything because canva uses a lot of images. But I use it for the physical to give out during the actual interview.

Hi. Thanks for another great resume video. Putting the resume in a PDF is a great idea as far as protecting the formatting but I don't think search engines can search words within a PDF form. I believe the PDF serves more like an image. :) I'm going to double-check on this.

[@KathleenJasperEdD]

Thanks for watching. Word docs converted to PDFs are fully searchable documents.

[@kendrasuedix]

Thank you! You're are the best!!!! Would you make one on a cover letter too? :)

[@KathleenJasperEdD]

It's on my list :)

[@rubakasem5532]

That was awesome. Tips are straight to the point. Thanks

[@KathleenJasperEdD]

Thank you so much for watching. :)

[@parisabanks2412]

Is the template reusable? I tried to type my own information on it but it didn't let me after I had downloaded it. Also, do you recommend including a photo? Thank you so much.

[@KathleenJasperEdD]

You can download it as a WORD doc and then edit it from there. Thank you and have a wonderful day.

Thank you very much. I have done some online certification courses on Alison.Where should I list the courses,should it be under "certification "or under "personal development?"

[@KathleenJasperEdD]

Probably personal development. Certifications are for what you are 100% certified in and are able to to teach. Thanks for watching.

What suggestions do you have for writing a letter of-interest? I feel like I need to give a background to make up for my shortened resume. Also, I have emailed my resume to principals after submitting my application. I haven't had any replies. I will be a second-year teacher. I am continuing professional development through Region 11 and 13 and have learned so many positive strategies since last summer. At what point of not being hired should I consider another path? I have applied to 14 districts since last summer and reapplied since updating my resume.

[@KathleenJasperEdD]

I am planning on doing a letter of interest video soon. However, I cannot stress this enough, keep things short. The interview is where you talk about all the things you have done. A long, overly detailed letter of interest is not always a good thing. Have you asked for feedback from any of the principals you have interviewed or applied with? There may be a key component you are missing. Ask for feedback when appropriate.

[@marleinacantrell4428]

Thank you so much for your help! I am a career changer so the resume has been hard for me to complete. Is it appropriate to add summa cum laude under education with your GPA?

[@KathleenJasperEdD]

You can, but it isn't going to matter much. It is a HUGE accomplishment and I do not want to diminish that. However, the principal is looking at your education to make sure you have completed a 4-year degree or a master's program. But if you want to add it, you certainly can.
