3. Many countries require
teachers to have a
full university degree to get
a proper work visa, but
there are opportunities out
there for everyone.

4. When you apply for a teaching position
you’re not qualified for, it’s likely that you’ll
be rejected for that position. It’s best to
apply for positions you are qualified for.

6. TEFL certifications are
second in importance to
education. More and more
schools around the world
are making a TEFL certificate
a hard requirement.

7. Courses with observed teaching
practice are excellent, but if you
don’t have that kind of certification,
don’t sweat it.

10. While this practice is
generally frowned upon in
North America, bear in
mind that you are
applying for a position
overseas and your
employer will want to
know what you look like.

11.  It’s important that you attach an
appropriate photo to your application for
ESL employment.
 DO include a head shot or a photo of
yourself having fun with kids.
 DO NOT send a silly photo or photos where
you are dressing or acting inappropriately.

13. Your birthday is relevant
and required by
many schools.

15. Many employers and agents, including
Reach To Teach, search CVs by
keywords. We look for words like:
curriculum development, phonics, team
teaching, etc.
Add some keywords to your Additional
Skills section to round out your CV.

17. In other words, don’t send your
accounting CV in for a teaching position.

19. Most employers aren’t interested in seeing
every job you’ve ever had listed on your CV. If
something significant occurs in your work
history, especially if it’s in regards to teaching,
make sure it’s listed.
Note: Jobs you’ve held for less than
six months are best left off.

20. Build on your experience. If
you don’t have formal
experience, you can include
options like one-on-one
tutoring, coaching
experience, volunteer
teaching or summer camp
experience.

22. Experience abroad shows you are
adaptable and independent.

24. Foreign
Language
Leadership
Adaptability &
Flexibility
Think of a way to
showcase your
experience in a careful
and thought out
approach.
School directors want to
know what your skills,
qualifications and
experience entail, so
don’t be afraid to sell
yourself.
