What do ESL recruiters/school owners look for in a resume?
Is it best to put education first or employment history/experience? Any tips would be greatly aprreciated.
Please no sarcastic responses  |

| If your experience is in England than you should forgo mentioning it. Any American or Canadian experience put first. |

I can't speak for all of them, but I recently applied and got a great response back. My resume has my education first [I just graduated...] with my gpa and degree. Then it has my relevant work experience. Don't put every job that you've had down, only put the ones that will help you if you were to get the job in Korea. I got a overwhelming response when I sent this out in this format, and I appled to about six recruiters. I also had a killer cover letter that explained why I would be good for the job. Most of the sites asked for a cover letter and I sent it. If the site didn't, I either emailed i anyway if I was emailing my resume, or copied and pasted the important parts into the education/work experience box....this cover letter really seemed to help.
So, that's my advice! |
