Hi,

I have written CVs many times before, but I now need to write one for applying for a teaching position in Japan. How does it differ from a normal CV/resume? Are there things I should be sure to highlight? How should it be set out?

Many thansk for any help you can give?

HIghlight any training or teaching experience you have, paid or volunteer. Also state whether you have participated in any congresses or workshops.

Try doing a google search. There's tons of examples on the web. Here are a few I found.

You know the Japan forum exists. Have you done a search there? Plenty of threads on that topic, and I've contributed to most of them.

Don't have time to rewrite my stuff here, but if you want to exchange PMs, feel free.

djpoole,
Countries have different standards for their resumes.
