I'm going to start sending out my Resume, I have included a brief statement about my limited experience in the field and that arrangements for my arrival in Peru are all taken care of. Anything else I should include?







I'm so terrified of actually applying for work ah haha

I wouldn't be talking about your limitations but what you can actually bring to the job. If you are applying for schools that teach mostly businessmen do you have corporate experience that may help you with teaching them? Have you completed some kind of business qualification? If you are going to be teaching kids, have you coached local sporting teams or had experience with children in some capacity? (thinking like a kid does not count! je je)

Talk about your personality traits that complement teaching - patience, command of English, empathy, sense of humour, strong organisation skills, an ability to communicate effectively with people of all ages and ways of thinking etc etc.

If you are lacking in actual teaching experience, I am sure you have something that you can put in to beef up the CV. What have you been involved in?

Sorry I am prattling. Can you give us more info about your qualifications, where you are planning to apply etc?
