  Case: Job Interviews
When interviewing for a new teaching position, is a resume enough? Should new teacher interviewees provide work samples or portfolios of their teaching when interviewing?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Obviously my suggestion may not work for all places at all times, but I think my suggestion is pretty universal. Yes, a good cover letter and resume are enough. To be honest, principals hire teachers, and principals do not have enough time to look over a lot of paper work about new jobs. In my opinion, a cover letter is where you connect with principals personally, and a one-page resume is where you show off your experience. I highly suggest emailing principals directly with this information. I moved out to a new state two years ago and went through this same process. I emailed the principal. The email was the cover letter. I told the principal why I was moving and how I felt about his school and my experiences. I attached my resume to the email. I was hired shortly thereafter.
