CV Word teaching assistant
If you're looking to land a top teaching assistant (TA) role, it's vital that you have a quality CV.
A strong teaching assistant CV needs to be well formatted, and contain the right content to impress recruiters and teaching employers.
This guide tells you everything you need to know about writing a first-class CV for teaching assistant roles, and even contains a teaching assistant CV example, to show you exactly how your CV should look.
CV profile / personal statement
To hold the attention of recruiters and school staff reading your CV, it's essential to sell yourself with a quick punchy paragraph at the top.
Your profile or personal-statement should give a nice summary of your skills, experience, qualifications and knowledge.
The idea is to sell yourself, and encourage readers to continue reading your CV.
So, what kind of info should you put into your teaching assistant CV profile?
At this stage in your CV, schools will want to know these types of details…
If you really want to make sure that you grab recruiters' attention in those vital first few seconds of them opening your CV – you need to add a core skills section.
Like this one.
Your work experience
To show recruiters and potential employers that you can contribute plenty of value in the workplace, you need to give a detailed account of your work experience.
If you have experience working within schools or other educational settings, that's great – and you should focus on it within your CV.
If you don't have any direct education experience – that's OK. You just need to focus on drawing out transferable skills from your previous work (I'll talk about what those skills are later in this post) or even consider getting some voluntary experience first.
To start with, order your roles in reverse chronology, which means start with the most recent job, and work down to your older roles – like the diagram below.
