If you are looking for a teaching job it does not mean that a strong, well-written teacher cover book is the most important part of the process.
I have written a few articles on the subject of teacher textbooks and how you can make your teacher cover book stand out.
However, this article is NOT about "how to write" a teacher's cover book, but rather what you should do once your teacher's cover letter has been written.
I know what you're thinking ... "What to do with it? Just send it along with your resume."
Well, if that's the only thing you're going to do, you certainly won't stand out from the competition ... which can be very difficult when it comes to getting a teaching job.
So, what should you do with your teacher's cover?
First of all, you can't just "send" a cover letter to your teacher and have the teacher's resume. Instead, you should "go" in the teacher's cover book/resume teacher.
Of course ... you will manually bring your cover letter and restart. Doing so will put a face on the name and will set you apart from all other applicants who have submitted only their own.
However, more important than "outstanding" is that the administrator can give you an interview right away!
The second thing you will do is write three versions of your teacher's cover.
Of course ... 3 versions. You need to stop thinking about your teacher's cover as one letter and more as a three-letter series.
The first book is a traditional teacher's cover. The one we just discussed that you both post AND bring it with both hands in line with your progress.
The second and third letters, however, will really set you apart from the crowd.
Remember, the old motto Head and Shoulders commercial? "You get only one chance to seem for the first time."
Well ... maybe that's not entirely true. Maybe you get two chances.
Your second cover book is known as the "teacher cover book". This letter of complaint comes AFTER you have received the interview, but BEFORE the actual interview took place. Those few days in between are where you send out a "teacher cover letter".
This cover book is similar to your original cover with small changes. Your teacher's cover book is a little "incorrect". It is a cross between a cover and a thank-you note.
Start the book by thanking you for the upcoming interview of [enter date and time].Be sure you have entered a date and time. This will make you stand out .... * they will look forward to * your interview *! Once you have thanked the right person, highlight the key points you made in your teacher's first book.
The third in a series of teachers' cover books is a "post-interview teacher cover book".
This third "cover letter" is less formal and more dependent on gratitude than the cover letter. In fact, the third book should actually be presented as a âhandwrittenâ note in a beautiful, artistic setting.
He gives this third letter to everyone sitting on the interview committee. Say each word and keep it short. Start by thanking the person for their time AND make sure you add something specific from your conversation - this will do it again, making YOUR interview stand out. Next, close the book with something about their school and your love of teaching there.
But wait! You're not done yet!
Be sure to ... Don't give up hope!
If your "post-interview teacher cover letter" does not receive a call within a few days, follow up with an email.
If that doesn't work, track again with a phone call.
Persistence can cost a lot of time and can be the difference between getting a teaching job or going back to looking for other teacher interviews.
This teacher cover book process is very powerful and will set you up for easy years ahead of the competition.
Here are the steps again:
1. Original Teacher Cover Book ~ email AND handbook and teacher's book.
2. Teacher Cover Book Track ~ mail AFTER getting the interview, but BEFORE the interview takes place.
3. Teacher Cover Book After Conversation ~ handwritten thank you, follow-up email, follow-up call.
It's simple and easy ... it greatly increases your
chances of getting a teaching job if you use this method of writing a teacher
cover book.
