Job For Teachers

After posting such information about teachers, their job, and information on how and where they should apply, I decided to write an application letter for teachers.  Though this application letter comes in general view, you can always replace the information to suit you needs.

Your application letter is one of the documents which will trigger you to be included by the employer/school to be one of their applicants.  Your application letter is also a sales letter because you actually are selling yourself to your prospect employer/school/universities.

And, since you are a teacher, you should make your application letter perfect to stimulate the reader.  However, you should not make it overwhelming because the person who will read it is also a teacher and very much aware of the school, the students and activities involve in the school.

Application Letter for Teachers format should goes like this:

To:  Name of the Principal or the President of the school/university (if there’s any)  The name of the receiver of your application letter should be written in capital letters.  You should also write his or her position below the name.  The “position” should be leveled on the first letter of the name and not under the “To:” .  It is no longer need to write a “Subject:” of your application letter.

Sir: (or Madam:  )  You should know the gender to whom your application letter will be sent.  I am sure this info could be easily researched, but you can always write “Sir/Madam:” if you are not sure.

Depending on what introduction you feel comfortable to start with, but I would like to suggest you start from “I am”.  and it goes like this:

I am (your complete name), (don’t forget the comma) a graduate of Bachelor in Secondary Education major in (your major and minor).  If you are already an expert or seasoned teacher you should immediately write:  I have been teaching for a couple of years now in ( or you can mention the exact number of years you have been teaching) the school/ university with its present address at ( name of the school you taught) with its present address at (the address of the school).

That should be your introductory paragraph to be followed by the information how or where you’ve got the information that their school is in need of additional teachers.  Do not take this for granted because most of the time, schools, colleges and universities are using advertisement to get the perfect applicant for their additional faculty.  Since we usually search the job market for teachers over the internet, I would like to compose it giving emphasis that you found the advertisement through the internet.  And it goes like this:

I have been browsing the internet for job for teachers and come up with the website: (put the link or the url of the website here).  While browsing the posted teachers job over this website, I came across with the post stating you are in need of additional faculty to handle English related subjects (specify the subject here if there’s any).  Based on my experiences in the teaching field and my earned knowledge, I am confident to tell you, I am fit for the position, and so, I decided to apply.

I think that paragraph has more than enough information about their advertisement.  I would like to emphasize that you can make this part an introductory paragraph too.

I have attached my credentials and other pertinent documents for your reference and further evaluation.  Should you feel I am qualified for the position, I can be contacted at this number and email address.  It will be my honor to be one of your faculty.

Thank you very much.

Truly yours, (or Sincerely yours,)

You name in capital letters and your signature over it.

Again, this is only a sample application letter for teachers.  You can always modify it to suit exactly what you need.  Teachers, happy job hunting.
