6. Planning for your Application – Research Required What is the name of the Principal? Who are the key personnel in the appointment (HOD/HOF/Tutor or Dean)? What is the size of the school? What is it’s culture? Check out www.tki.org.nz/e/schools
7. Two Curriculum Vitae Formats Chronological Expresses your experience under headings based on time. Advantage – clearly states your previous employment history Disadvantage – Does not readily show what skills and expertise you have Longer for the interviewing panel to read and assess
8. Two Curriculum Vitae Formats Functional Outlines the transferable skills you may bring to a teaching position Advantage – clearly states skills which you bring to a teaching position in the school Disadvantage – employment history less obvious
9. Actively Demonstrate your Interest in the Position By being knowledgeable about the school Eg Decile, Location, Hierarchy, Philosophy How? By reading the sources of information distributed by the school to educational and community sources eg ERO report, newspaper articles, radio notices, school prospectus, web-sites
10. Consider YOUR Brand Image – What is YOUR Point of Difference? Use fonts, heading styles and colours that reflect your personality. Choose a “theme” for the letter of application and the Curriculum Vitae Put personal details/image on each page of the Curriculum Vitae – your “brand” Always think about the readers of the information you are providing – what would they want to know about you? Is it easy to read? Clear? etc
11. Tailoring to Fit – Read the Advertisement Carefully For example, the position states: “ the successful applicant will be joining a vibrant, expanding department and is expected to participate in the co-curricular life of the College …” Then show that you are keen to be part of this kind of culture in your application!

14. Strategically Thinking It is believed by professional CV writers that if a person reads/hears something three times they believe the statement to be fact. Develop your Curriculum vitae with a statement about your strength, support with a reference and make a statement in support of your strength in the covering letter
15. Common Faults with CVs Avoid revealing personal information that should have no bearing on whether you are employed. Your CV is an example of your writing skills. It is important it contains NO SPELLING, punctuation or grammatical errors. You will be judged by the presentation of your CV (Just like in an interview where most decisions are made by individual panel members in the first few minutes)
16. Avoid Common Faults Ensure your CV is readable (makes sense) and legible (fonts can be clearly read) Use spiral binding Use a title page with the image on it Avoid making untrue statements or boasting – but don’t undersell yourself either Ensure you only send copies (verified if necessary of important documents) Try to keep your actual CV as brief as possible
17. The Static Image If a picture says 1000 words, what does the image you have selected say?
18. The Static Image Save the 1000 words! Use a static image! Digital cameras downstairs! Choose your image carefully – avoid glamorised or retouched photos. Ensure your “look” is professional – consider your attire
