Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the difference between a Teacher Resume and CV?
In the US/Canada, a Resume is a concise 1-2 page summary. In India, UK, Europe, and UAE, a CV (Curriculum Vitae) is preferred, which can be longer (2-3 pages) and includes detailed modules, philosophy, and sometimes a photo.
What is the best resume format for a Teacher Fresher?
For freshers (B.Ed/NQTs), the Functional or Hybrid Format is best. Place your "Education" and "Certifications" sections above your "Experience" and focus on your Student Teaching/Practicum details.
How do I write a Teacher Resume with no experience?
Highlight your Transferable Skills (tutoring, coaching, volunteering). Detail your student teaching experience as if it were a full-time job—mentioning lesson planning, grading, and classroom management.
Should I include a photo on my teacher resume?
In the US/UK/Canada: No. It is not standard practice due to anti-discrimination laws.
In the UAE/India/Asia: Yes. A professional headshot is often expected for teaching roles.
What certifications are mandatory for a Teacher Resume?
It depends on the country.
• In the US: You must list your State Teaching License (e.g., "Texas Educator Certificate") and status (Pending/Active).
• In the UK: QTS is the gold standard.
• In India: Clearing CTET/TET is often mandatory for government schools.
• In the UAE: You need a TLS License or Ministry of Education approval.
What is the average teacher salary in the US?
The average teacher salary in the US ranges from $55,000 for Elementary roles to over $85,000 for High School teachers in top-paying states like New York and California. Check salary for your state here.
What is the salary of a PGT teacher in India?
