So, you want to be an English teacher? Be prepared for ample reminders from well meaning friends and family about all those essays to grade. Yes, the essays are there, but so is the opportunity to connect with students on a personal level and provide a creative outlet.

Change your tense to reflect present and past experience.
If possible, include a section with leadership experience and honors. Principals are looking for applicants who are willing to go beyond the four walls of their classroom. If you're just starting out, no educational experience is insignificant. You can upgrade this section as you gain more opportunities.
Lastly, list professional memberships. They provide great resources and can offer legal protection. Lori and I have a major nerd moment when our quarterly ATPE magazine comes! Don't have one? Pick one and click. If you are a pre-service teacher, many organizations will offer you a FREEE membership! Future employers won't know if you've be a member for hours or years.
