Three mistakes this example avoids

  • Listing duties every teacher has ('created lesson plans, graded papers') instead of what changed for your students.
  • Burying or omitting certification status and expiration — or leaving 'pending' unexplained.
  • Using the same resume for a district job and an edtech or corporate training role without translating classroom terms.
