12 RESUME Writing your own resume is crucial if you want to effectively tell a story about yourself that will engage your intended audience a school principal. You may wish to use the CL/ACL Competencies Worksheet in order to brainstorm the following: What work examples best represent my preparedness in each competency? What examples relate directly to the competency and demonstrate success and /or growth? Which work examples reveal the most about my capabilities and skills for the position of CL/ACL? Resume Types The type of resume you use will depend on the kind of job for which you are applying and on your own work background. Always choose a style, which stresses your skills, qualities, abilities and achievements. Remember you are trying to persuade a principal to interview you above all other candidates. There are a number of resume formats, but most people find the chronological or functional most successful. It is recommended that you include a special section that allows you to summarize your experience and emphasize your strengths. The section referred to is called Qualifications or Summary and is now received favourably by many employers. The Job Objective is another feature that employers like to see because it focuses on the specific type of work in which you are most interested. The Traditional Format: Chronological This format highlights your work history. Work experience (position, school or department name, location and years) is listed starting with the most recent position and working backwards. Titles and schools/departments are emphasized and selected achievements and accomplishments for each work experience are listed in point form. Recommended: When you have been in a similar role for a period of time When the name of last department or school is an important consideration When job history shows real growth and development When prior titles are impressive 12
13 SAMPLE CHRONOLOGICAL RESUME TEMPLATE [Full Name] [Mail Address, City, Province, Postal Code] [Phone #] [ Address] OBJECTIVE [Describe your career goal in one to three brief sentences. When submitting your chronological resume to apply for a specific job opening, tailor your objective (and your entire chronological resume) to closely match the job description without embellishing. Delete this section from the resume template if you do not use it.] EXPERIENCE EDUCATION [EXTRA] REFERENCES [Job Title] [School/Company Name, City, Province] From [Year] to [Year or Present] [Optional Short Description] [List main job responsibilities or major achievements] [When applying for a specific job, match the job description requirements as closely as possible without embellishing.] [Degree, Credit Hours or Diploma or School Name] [School Name, City, Province or Degree, Credit Hours or Diploma] [Optional Brief Description] [List significant awards, accomplishments or curricular activities, or work completed towards an advanced degree, etc.] [Optional extra section for what you think is important to emphasize. Be careful with personal hobbies and interests as they may give the wrong impression. If this section is more important than another, move it up in your resume. Delete this section from the resume template if you do not use it.] References available on request. 13
14 A More Flexible Format: Functional This format highlights your skills and de emphasizes your work history. This format organizes skills and achievements into functional categories in relation to the position for which you are applying. This is best used when your work history does not clearly convey the scope of your abilities for a particular position. Recommended: When you wish to move from one role to another (i.e. classroom teacher to instructional leader) When re entering the job market after an absence When you want to emphasize capabilities not used in recent work experiences When you have had many different work experiences Functional Format s Two Sections: 1. The Functional Section: Possible headings Areas of Expertise, Major Accomplishments, Strengths, Professional Experience. Work experience is organized in point form under major skill clusters or functional areas, e.g.: Presentation Skills Leadership Administration/Management Consultation Policy Development Business Writing Teaching/Training Technical Communication Personnel Financial Management 2. Employment History: a chronological list including only the position, organization name, location and years. This is usually placed after the functional section. 14
15 SAMPLE FUNCTIONAL RESUME TEMPLATE [Full Name] [Mail Address, City, Province, Postal Code] [Phone #] [ Address] QUALIFICATIONS [OPTIONAL] EXPERIENCE EMPLOYERS [Tailor your qualifications to match those required in the job description, as closely as possible without making them up. Optionally, also list a one to three word specific per bullet ( ), keeping each to one line if possible. If needed, rename this section to better fit what you write, such as Profile, Summary or Background.] [Specific] [Specific] [Specific] [Summarize, highlight in the nuggets below or both.] [This resume template section is optional, but often included in a functional resume when a summary of qualifications alone will not do.] [Use it to expand upon your qualifications or highlight anything that you think is important, such as special skills or stellar achievements. Name it appropriately.] [Skill Cluster or Functional Area] [Optional brief description] [Briefly list job responsibilities, one per bullet.] [When applying for a specific job, match the job description requirements as closely as possible without embellishing.] [School/Company Name, City, Province] [Job Title] [Optional: Year to Year or Present] EDUCATION [EXTRA] REFERENCES [Degree, Credit Hours or Diploma or School Name] [School Name, City, Province or Degree, Credit Hours or Diploma] [Optional brief description] [Include significant awards, accomplishments or curricular activities, or work completed towards an advanced degree, etc.] [Optional extra section for what you think is important to emphasize. Be careful with personal hobbies and interests as they may give the wrong impression. If this section is more important than another, move it up in your resume. Delete this section from the resume template if you do not use it.] References available on request. 15
16 The Combination Format The combination allows maximum flexibility, according to your needs. If you have had a long work history in one position, you might organize your achievements and accomplishments under functional headings; or you might organize your work history under categories of positions, e.g. teaching, consulting, administrative, project management Naming Your Sections: The names you choose for your headings and the order in which you present them in your resume can greatly impact your reader. Since your resume is a marketing tool, it is important to be strategic and targeted in this area. There are no strict rules about what you call the headings on your resume. Therefore, choose heading names that sell you best and that make sense to your intended audience principals. When naming your sections, consider Near and far transfer. Does the position you are applying for involve mostly a far transfer or near transfer of your skills? If far, emphasize your transferable skills. If near, emphasize tasks from past experiences. Functional groupings. Can you combine your experiences along functional lines (e.g. lead professional learning, technical experience, etc)? When using such groupings, there is no need to differentiate between volunteer and paid positions; it is the experience that matters. Targeted headings. Can you choose new heading titles that highlight the skills employers are looking for (e.g. accounting experience, project management experience, etc.)? Ordering Your Sections: As with the naming of your sections, there are no strict rules about the order in which your sections appear on your resume. The key is to make sure that the sections that sell you best appear first. This will vary from person to person, and will change over time. When ordering your sections, consider Your impressive qualities. On a two page resume, the first page is the most important, and the space at the top of the first page is critical. Make sure your best stuff goes here. Your unique qualities. Think about what an employer would find most interesting about you; does it appear first? Be sure to emphasize accomplishments and qualities that differentiate you from other applicants. 16
17 SAMPLE COMBINATION RESUME TEMPLATE [Full Name] [Mail Address, City, Province, Postal Code] [Phone #] [ Address] OBJECTIVE [Describe your career goal in one to three brief sentences. When submitting your combination resume to apply for a specific job opening, tailor your objective (and your entire combination resume) to closely match the job description without embellishing.] SUMMARY [OPTIONAL] EXPERIENCE EDUCATION [EXTRA] REFERENCES [When applying for a specific job, tailor them to the requirements in the job description, as closely as possible without embellishing. Optionally, also highlight a one to three word specific per bullet ( ), keeping each to one line if possible. If needed, rename this section to better fit what you write, such as Profile, Qualifications or Background.] [Specific] [Specific] [Specific] [Summarize, highlight in the nuggets below or both.] [As indicated, this resume template section is optional.

Be careful with personal hobbies and interests as they may give the wrong impression. If this section is more important than another, move it up in your resume. Delete this section from the resume template if you do not use it.] References available on request. 17
18 COVER LETTER The cover letter shows the Principal why you should be considered and is the first impression made by demonstrating how well you communicate in writing. It brings your resume to life and it can be helpful to complete after finishing your resume. A cover letter should be typed and should never be more than one page long. Break the text into short paragraphs that makes it easier to read. The cover letter provides the opportunity to highlight how your skills and qualifications will benefit the school you are applying to. The cover letter should be tailored for the specific CL/ACL position at that particular school, yet provides an individual touch. The following sections should be included in your cover letter: Header and Greeting Contact Information: This is the header of your cover letter. Your Name Full Address Phone Number Fax Number (optional) E mail Address (optional) Ensure that you have addressed it to the right person Name and title of the person reviewing your application spelled correctly Full address of the school Body The Job: This first paragraph should include: The position you are applying for A brief statement about why you would fit the position Demonstrate: You have researched the school and understand its needs.

Closing Conclusion/Sign Off: Request for an interview and re iterate contact information including best times to reach you. 18
19 Cover Letter and Resume Checklist: Does it make sense? Is it clear? Does it flow? Is it concise and to the point (no more than one page)? Does it convey the messaging you want? Have you brought the qualities you shared in your resume to life? Have you aligned your thoughts to key issues and priorities in TDSB and the position you are applying for? Does it match qualifications listed in the posting? Have you clearly conveyed why you would be an asset to the school as a CL/ACL? What sets you apart from the other candidates? 19
20 INTERVIEW The Interview Team will be using the CL/ACL Competencies to evaluate your responses. ANSWER ORGANIZERS It is often helpful to use answer organizers when responding to interview questions. Interview times can vary, but are usually between 30 to 45 minutes in length. There are predetermined questions that all the candidates applying for the same position are asked. Answer organizer will not only help you budget your time, but will keep you from veering off on tangents that do not actually answer the question. There are a variety of frameworks you could use to respond to questions, the following are some that you may wish to use. Remember, there is no such thing as a one size fits all model when responding to questions so you may need to adapt one to suit your individual needs. Commonly Asked Questions: Why? in relation to specific aspects of your work experience, work style, qualifications, or goals. Sample Questions: Why do you want to be the CL/ACL for this department/school? Why are you the best candidate for this position? Scenario/Hypothetical Questions: What would you do? in relation to proposed problems that might be encountered in the job. Outline, in detail, the steps that you feel would be effective. Try to use an example where you had to deal with such a situation or a similar one how might you handle a situation similarly or differently in the future? Sample Questions: What would you do if you had to deal with an angry staff member or parent? As the CL/ACL, you are aware of the need to improve assessment practices in your school. What would you do to support your colleagues? Behaviour Based Questions: What have you done? in relation to a requirement of the job. Provide specific, detailed examples from your experiences to demonstrate your proven abilities and knowledge that relate to on the job performance.

21 BROAD BASED BEHAVIOUR QUESTIONS: PAR (Position + Action = Results) An answer organizer to assist in responding to questions that demonstrate past accomplishments. Position (problem) State your position. It may include a thesis for your answer that does not answer the question but sets up your answer and reveals your values. Action Answer the given question(s). Whenever possible, illustrate what you would do in a theoretical answer with a concrete specific example. Results Always make sure to check that what you are doing is really making a difference. Closing Statement Mirrors your opening and summarizes your response by highlighting key points. Story An example from your work/life experiences. IMPLEMENTATION: RDI (Review, Development, Implementation) Managing a process that allows you to achieve goals by working with others is a cycle that must be monitored and assessed and involves several stakeholders (staff, students, parents, community, etc.) Review Development Implementation Gather data Analyze, interpret, and evaluate data to make informed plans Set goals Develop an action plan: o What steps will be taken? o Who is responsible? o What will they do? o What will the time line be?
