There is no such thing as the “right” or “wrong” resume.
The best indicator of whether your resume is doing its job is by answering this question,
“Are employers contacting you?
![Page 12: Resume writing and interviewing skills](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052321/5559e300d8b42a39498b4c65/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
What is the Purpose of a Resume?
To describe your accomplishments, qualifications, professional and educational experiences
Serve as a record to leave with an employer

Attach to a job application- Some forms don’t allow us to express our skills and abilities very well
To answer “the” question : Why should I be selected for an interview?

Dear Mr./Ms. LastName,
Please accept my application for the teaching assistant position advertised on Craig's List. I would like to
continue to develop my teaching skills while creating a challenging and fun learning environment for students.
The middle school age group is particularly appealing to me, because students are very impressionable,
interested in learning, and open to new concepts.
I am very well qualified and would be an asset to the school because of my experience working as a teaching
assistant for XYZ School. I have worked with both elementary and middle school teachers, as well as camp
directors to develop curricula that meet the needs of students. I enjoy tutoring students and helping them build
confidence in their ability to achieve, both academically and socially. In addition, I have artistic and computer
skills that will be an asset when developing class projects.
I have attached my resume for your review. Thank you for considering my application. I would appreciate the
opportunity to interview and look forward to hearing from you in the near future.
Sincerely,
Your Signature
Your Typed Name
