				| 
 |  
				| Hello, I was wondering if someone would be so kind as to help me. 
 Im wanting to revamp my CV from a technical one to a more industry specific TEFL one.
 
 I was just wondering what the specific template headings would be and in what order.
 
 Thank you, much appreciated.

				| Finy - 
 What I did was emphasize the training, teaching and instructing in my CV.

				| Industry-specific.  Just list your education at the top, followed by a category labeled "teaching-related work experience", and then followed by another (shorter one) "other work experience". 
 You don't really need a template for that.
 
 Where are you thinking of applying?  I'd strongly suggest using bullets to describe your work experience, not paragraphs, here in Japan.

				| Also, try a Highlights and Achievements section.  LIst the outstanding things, such as publications, workshops given, etc. |  |

				| Templates for western jobs don't always agree with those for other countries.  Ask about a specific country. |  |
