Most ESL teacher resumes are written and sent off through a digital channel. This works for everyone, including hiring managers who actually prefer an inbox that is full of resumes, rather than a desk overflowing with paper resumes!
Do what others are not doing nowadays. Send a paper resume. Even if you send one through an email, augmenting your candidature by sending it in paper form will work wonders for your chances to be called for an interview.
Hundreds of resumes are in the inbox versus some on the desk (considering others might have thought to do the same).
What has a better chance?
The latter, of course!
This can actually be quite workable for you if you are applying for a position for which you have had little or no experience i.e. an entry-level resume.
So begin typing on your word processor, feed the printer, and send a neatly printed resume to the hiring manager.
Here is a sample resume for an ESL teacher that you can look through to determine the format:
