ATS-FRIENDLY...EASY TO USE & CUSTOMIZE...EYE-CATCHING, MODERN FORMATS

USE THIS TEACHER RESUME TEMPLATE TO CREATE A TEACHING RESUME THAT IS AS UNIQUE & SPECIAL AS YOU ARE!

Professionally Designed Teacher Resume Template

As a teacher, teaching assistant, or other educator or school administrator, you want your teaching resume to stand out and promote your qualifications in the best and most impressive way. This teacher resume template is the solution that will make building your teaching resume fast and easy.

This resume template stands out because it was custom-designed by a professional resume writer with decades of experience. The template was based on real-world, successful teacher resumes.

Our premium resume templates are created primarily for the use of professional resume writers, but the templates are simple and easy to use for DIY job hunters too.

As an educator, you want your resume to call out the qualifications and skills that will be of value in a teaching job. This teacher resume template was designed with tips and prompts throughout the template, to guide you with ideas of what to include in your resume and where to put it. It even includes accomplishment questions that will help you identify your teaching accomplishments to include in your resume.

The layout and format of this resume template present an eye-catching and highly professional image to impress the hiring decision-makers for the job you most want. But beyond eye appeal, like all our resume templates, this teaching resume is ATS friendly too.

ATS compatibility is critically important when you are applying for teaching jobs. Your resume will usually be stored in an applicant tracking system (ATS) that will be used to track you as a teaching candidate throughout the hiring process.

Most of the cheap or free resume templates for teachers available on the internet are NOT compatible with ATS and the content will become jumbled when entered into an ATS. Beware of these templates! They will do your job search more harm than good. Not only do these templates--especially the teacher resume templates that are free--make it look like you created a resume using a generic cookie cutter (looking like a lazy teaching candidate who couldn't be bothered to create an attractive and effective resume is NOT a great first impression to make!). Many of them violate resume writing best practices and can severely hurt your chances if your resume gets entered inaccurately into an ATS.

The TeacherWorks Collection includes an optional bundle of matching documents, including a resume addendum with prompts for additional teaching qualifications and skills, a teacher biography, references for teaching jobs, and even a cover letter template.

All of our templates are created to make it easy for you to customize them and make them your own. You can easily add or remove sections, rename sections, or even swap sections around. Changing the color scheme is equally easy, and we include video tutorials with every resume purchase, to show you how to do this. Here are just some of the many color schemes available when you use our teacher resume template and the other matching career templates in the collection.

Yes—ATS compatibility is one of our top priorities. While no template can be guaranteed to work perfectly with every single applicant tracking system (there are hundreds!), our templates follow current best practices and work well with most systems.

There’s a lot of outdated and incorrect advice out there. Our resume designs are the result of decades of experience, ensuring they’re not only ATS-friendly, but also visually impactful to human readers.

To learn more, I encourage you to read the many articles about resume design and applicant tracking systems on our blog.

Yes. All templates are built in Microsoft Word (.docx) and require the desktop version of Word for full functionality.

While other tools like Canva, Google Docs, or Apple Pages may seem convenient, they often break formatting, introduce ATS compatibility issues, and don’t display resumes correctly across devices and systems.

If you don’t have Word installed, it’s available for as little as $9/month, and is well worth the investment—it’s still the industry standard for resume writing and submission.

Appearances matter, even with the written word, and how a document looks can make an immediate impact on the decision to read it or toss it aside. I train and mentor many excellent resume writers who have mastered the art of crafting highly effective resume content, but who lack the basic MS Word skills to create eye-catching, ATS compatible and uniquely branded documents. Distinctive Templates are the perfect solution for easily transforming well-written content into works of art that capture attention, generate interest, and motivate the recipient to read every word.

While I primarily write resumes from scratch for each of my clients, I have also used Michelle’s templates and received great feedback. I find the templates are especially helpful to organize my thinking for those clients who have an overabundance of important information that still must fit in an ATS-friendly, 2-page format without looking cluttered or disorganized.

When I was starting out with resume writing a little over a year ago, one of the most intimidating aspects was visual design of resumes. I didn’t want to have to learn graphic design to stand out—and with these templates, I didn’t need to! I was a little hesitant at first because I thought the templates might be too rigid or generic. In actuality, they are incredibly flexible and easy to play around with. I can customize any template with my client’s favorite colors in just two clicks—which means they never look exactly the same, even if I use them for multiple clients. Using the templates means I can just do what I do best—write—and then plug the text right into the appropriate section. It saves me literal HOURS of work and hassle. One of the best parts about purchasing from Michelle is that she is extremely responsive to questions. There’s a private Facebook group where she records screen share tutorials about how to switch up certain elements in the templates, and she’s always been responsive to my emailed questions. My clients are completely thrilled with the unique, modern design of their resume, and I’m thrilled that I’m saving time and don’t have to learn graphic design!

I love Michelle’s resume templates! The designs are eye-catching and easy to use. I highly recommend these templates for anyone who finds that designing a creative, contemporary formatted resume is a challenge. They’re a huge time-saver.

I used the “Pivot” template to create a combination functional/chronological resume for my first big client. Her words when she saw the finished product: “THIS IS AMAZING!” I’m a writer, not a designer. My resumes aren’t unprofessional, but they needed a “wow” factor – and now they have it. Thank you, Michelle, for offering such affordably priced tools!
