Overview and Guidelines
Resume writing time again? No, you cannot use an existing resume.
You need a customized one. One that will tell the employer that you took out the time to read the job advertisement and created a resume according to it.
Many people read job headings and do not bother to go past English Tutor Wanted. They are quick to rehash an old resume to make it “good enough” for an English tutor job and send it on. But what about the job description under the heading? Isn’t that important too? Yes, it is!
Reading the job description in detail is very important. You have to be very careful here.
If the job description doesn’t say that it needs someone who can create curriculums, you don’t need to put it on your resume. For an English tutor position, you can format your resume like this:
