According to what I was taught in courses during my education degree, 1 page is not enough for a teacher's resume (although that's usually standard for other lines of work). It should be 2-3 pages. 3 seems a bit much for me, so I've managed to squeeze mine onto 2. I personally don't really see how you could highlight your teaching accomplishments and everything on one page! However, that being said, if you are applying to this district and have heard they prefer one page, go with one page. From what I've heard over the years (4+ years searching for a teaching job) some administrators can be very picky. A fellow job searcher I know actually had their resume packet HANDED BACK to them at a mock interview BECAUSE IT WAS PAPER CLIPPED TOGETHER. They had been told by their university supervisor to paper clip everything like transcripts, evaluations, etc. to the resume, then were berated (in from of their student teaching group) by an area administrator because of it. Personally, I think administators like this are TOO picky, but they can get away with it cuz they have 1000s of resumes to choose from. On 4/10/08, slreja wrote: > Resume Help! I need resume help!
