Why this works: It’s simple: the candidate communicated their skills and accomplishments clearly. The Professional Summary section is crisp and includes hard numbers and quantifiable results. The same goes for the Work Experience section, where they focused on superspecific achievements rather than merely describing their day-to-day tasks and duties. The Conferences and Publications sections act as proof that the teacher is actively seeking professional development and is following new trends in the field. Finally, their Volunteer Work is relevant to the position and puts focus on the candidate’s commitment and drive.

Why this works: Although Miles has little hands-on classroom experience, his resume is strong and convincing. The resume objective follows the writing rules to a tee – in 3 simple, yet achievement-packed sentences, Miles manages to convey the idea that he’s a great fit for the role. He added his internship experience to the work section, and also remembered to include the relevant Camp Counselor gig he enjoyed doing while in high school. The state-level and First Aid certifications definitely add credibility, while his volunteer work helps him come across as a person who practices what he preaches.
When I say “format and structure,” here’s what I mean:
Let’s see what this means in practice.
Good design elements and font choice go a long way. Here are some easy-to-follow rules that will keep recruiters and administrators interested.
Save Comic Cans and other fun fonts for your 1st-grade posters. Instead, go for a classic font that’s legible and doesn’t distract the reader. Some great fonts to use on a resume (in no particular order):
As for resume font size, we recommend 11 or 12pt for normal text . Your section titles and headers should be 14–16pt . In case your resume spills over to the second page by just a few lines, you can opt for a 10pt font size, but make sure it doesn’t look cluttered.
Line spacing is the vertical white space between each consecutive line of text. A paragraph looking too dense? This means the line spacing could be increased. Stick to the optimal line spacing, between 1.15 and 1.5 points – this will help the hiring teams scan your resume more easily.
This may sound like overkill, but we promise margins are important.
Margins that are too big may sound an alarm among the hiring managers – Is the candidate using white space to cover the obvious lack of experience? You definitely don’t want that. On the other hand, margins that are too small will leave your resume looking cluttered and visually overwhelming.
That’s why all resume coaches suggest adjusting them to one inch on each side .
Remember that hiring decision-makers start their selection by bulk-skimming the resumes (or using Applicant Tracking Software, but more about that later) and you want yours to be clearly laid out and super skimmable.
To make the section headings stand out, use larger fonts (14-16pt) and bold for your headings . That way, the reader will find the most important bits of information at a glance. Points for you.
Again, there are two things to keep in mind:
Now let’s clarify this through some examples.
There are a few different resume formats to choose from, but most resumes today use the reverse-chronological format. (PS It’s a fancy name for something you’ve seen a million times.)
What’s typical of this format is that, in the Work Experience section, you start from your most recent job, and then work backwards from there . The same goes for the Education section, in case you attended multiple schools or have two or more degrees. This resume format is great because, as your career progresses, you’ll logically have your best and most recent accomplishments listed at the top of your resume (alongside another vital section, the Resume Profile ). This will allow you to list your most impressive and recent work experience first. Both human recruiters and ATS systems love having essential information in the top third of the page, so here’s an extra reason to go with this format.
You’ll also want to describe your skills and experience using bullet points so that things are easy to read and split up with nice spacing. |
Your resume needs to include a few standard sections and follow a particular order (this is non-negotiable):
There are some optional (but recommended) additional sections to include:
Let’s break these sections down and see how to make the most of them.
This is a no-brainer. You want to include relevant contact details so that the HR department can get in touch.
You should include:
This is how one candidate did it:
Portland, OR • (404) 123-0000 • lenapeters@email.com • linkedin.com/in/lpeters |
This is the part that sits right under your contact information and has a few versions and names. You’ve probably seen it as Resume Profile too. Despite the confusion, it’s fairly simple. You’ll write a resume objective if you’re an entry-level candidate. If not, you’ll go with the resume summary . (Check out our in-depth guide on Resume Profile to learn how that’s different).
Whichever one you pick, there are a few things to keep in mind :
Drop pronouns, articles, and full sentences. |
Here’s what Jonah, an experienced biology teacher, wrote in his resume summary:
✅ |
Why this works:
Let’s analyze this well-written teacher resume summary. Remember the rules? With four short, condensed sentences, Johan managed to distill his entire career into a short killer paragraph. He conveyed his passion for teaching, knowledge of pedagogical methods and sealed the deal with an award. In the last sentence, he clearly communicates what he’s looking to bring to the High School he’s applying for.
And here’s what not to do (I’ll give you two bad examples, one worse than the other):
❌ |
Why this is good, but not great:
At first glance, this looks like a solid summary, but experienced hiring managers won’t be impressed. Here’s what can be improved:
And here’s another lackluster example:
Why this absolutely sucks: Look twice and you’ll see that this is actually the same example. The previous version was filled with overcomplex, powerful, and (we dare say) pretentious language. And yet, this version is even worse because it describes the candidate in a way so basic that their unique dynamic abilities got lost in translation.
Remember: aim for clarity, be brief, and quantify wherever possible. If you need more help, check out our in-depth resume summar y guide .
Let’s examine this well-written teacher resume objective by Alexandra.
✅ |
Why this works: Instead of pulling your hair out because you lack work experience or are a recent graduate, think about how you can craft your resume objective to show that you’re driven and that you have transferable skills that will come in handy. In the example above, the candidate mentions key skills for a teacher – strong communication and people skills. Her tutoring experience (similar to volunteer work) also sends good signals to the hiring managers. Finally, the resume objective is short and to the point, with zero fluff.
And here’s a teacher resume objective style to avoid:
Why this is wrong: Yikes! This candidate surely kept their objective short, but made some serious faux pas. If I were looking at this resume, I’d have no idea which courses this person could teach, whether they’re certified or not, and the “motivated” with “great organizational skills” isn’t telling me much either. Remember the golden rule – actionable, quantifiable, with as much relevant info in 3-4 sentences.
When coaching job seekers, I always advise them to work on this section last. It’s often a lot easier to write a summary once you have everything outlined in your work history or skills section. Pick the best bits from there and make a “best-of” style bio. You can follow this simple formula: A/an [2-3 DESCRIPTIVE, SOFT SKILLS ADJECTIVES] [YOUR CURRENT ROLE] looking for a [NEW OPPORTUNITY]. Looking/ready/excited/seeking to apply my [TOP TECH SKILLS] to help [COMPANY NAME] reach [THE DESIRED OUTCOME]. |
Also, check out our resume objective guide for more ideas.
Now this is the part that will make up the bulk of your resume and that you really want to nail. The summary/objective and work history should go hand in hand – the ideal work history should reinforce any skills and qualifications you claimed to have in your summary.
To put your best foot forward, you’ll want to follow these basic rules:
Here’s how you can improve a mediocre work experience section in a few simple tweaks:

This should be fairly simple. When listing education in your teacher resume, there are some basic rules to stick to. Make sure to include:
And some bonus bits to be aware of:
Here’s an example you can use as inspiration:

Next, let’s tackle the Skills section. This is where you list a few relevant skills and abilities to send extra “I’m the one” signals to the hiring team. Sounds easy, but there are two common pitfalls to avoid:
ATS (Applicant Tracking Software) systems are bots that scan resumes for specific keywords that describe the ideal candidate the organization is seeking. When a bot reads a resume that has “good candidate potential,” it will flag the resume for further review. If your resume doesn’t get flagged by a bot, it will likely not be given another glance.Don’t be discouraged by this. Many teacher resumes don’t actually go through ATS, especially if you’re applying for a smaller, less sought-after districts. However, it’s another story if you’re aiming for a popular school that gets tons of applications. |
Take a look at this example job ad and just how many keywords they’ve listed as relevant.
You can list 5-10 skills in total . It’s best to have a mix of hard skills (like classroom software) and soft skills (e.g. your amazing knowledge transfer abilities).
Finally, here’s our ultimate list of teacher resume skills that you can use as guidance.
Soft skills for teachers
Technical (hard) skills for teachers
If you need to save space, you can divide your skills into Soft and Hard Skills and display them in two columns. |
Once you have listed all relevant work experience and a comprehensive overview of your education, you’ll have the option to include additional sections.
Although frequently referred to as “optional,” these teacher resume extra sections can earn you some extra points. Towards the end of your resume, include things like certifications, volunteer experience, conferences, awards, hobbies , and any foreign languages you may speak.
Remember you’re up against dozens of other candidates with similar skills, backgrounds, education, and work history, so these sections can really help you stand out.
In your teaching career, there are plenty of certifications you’ll obtain, but here are some that hiring managers love to see in a resume for a teaching position.
There are 3 ways you can present your certifications:
You don’t have to be a contender for the National Teacher of the Year Award to show off in your resume. And if you think the award you won isn’t worth mentioning, think again – it may be the only differentiating factor between you and another candidate.
Here are some of the awards you can add to your teacher resume:
As a teacher, you have the opportunity to make a positive difference in the world and help others. The same goes for volunteering. That’s why any volunteer work you’ve done will only reinforce the other qualities you mentioned in your teacher resume.
If you’ve volunteered as a teacher abroad during your studies or gap year, definitely add it to your resume (especially if you’re an entry-level candidate). That year you spent teaching English in Cambodia? It will signal the recruiters that your intercultural skills are solid, that you have an open mind and are able to connect with others – all highly-prized qualities in a teacher.
Teachers often attend workshops and conferences, and some of them are worth mentioning in your resume, especially if you engaged as a speaker or panelist. If your work has appeared in a journal or if you have an article published in The Language Magazine, then definitely add that too.
When teaching in a diverse setting, foreign languages come in handy. That’s why you should list all the languages you speak, along with the level of proficiency and any certifications you’ve received.
No job ad is the same, so don’t expect to have a single, generic resume version that you’ll just blast-send to recruiters. This is where going the extra mile really pays off.
If you’d like your teacher resume to hit all the right notes, you’ll have to tailor it so that it reflects the requirements from the job description.
This literally means reading through the job ad, underlining keywords and phrases, and then using those keywords in your resume. It also means customizing your resume summary to include the name of the school you’re applying to.
If this sounds like too much work, there are tools that can help. For example, use the Resume Builder to create an ATS-friendly resume in under 30 minutes. Once you’re done, AI goes through your resume and looks for room for improvement. Neat.

Teaching at any level in the US can be such a hugely rewarding career--inspiring young learners to explore the world around them, instilling discipline and behavior, and remaining as an influence long after pupils have left the classroom. Any teacher, whether that’s kindergarten level, high school, or college, has experienced huge upheaval over the past few years, upskilling massively by having to experiment with online learning, forcing them to quickly adjust to a different way of teaching.
It is incredible to think that there are over 4 million teachers across the US, making up 2.5% of the working population. But with a shortfall of 300,000 teacher and school staff vacancies, according to Rebecca Pringle, the president of the National Education Association, the largest teachers’ union in the US, the race is on to fill those gaps.
Coming to this article was certainly a great move if you’re in the mindset to seek out a teaching position with a fully functioning and engaging teacher resume.
Whether you’re a seasoned teacher or new to the field, your teacher resume needs to reflect your skill set accurately and concisely.
These teacher resume examples were created by ZipJob’s team of professional resume writers with you in mind.
This post has three sections:
A general sample teacher resume, ready to be adapted for the many different variants of educators there are out there, written by ZipJob’s team of experts
General advice on how to write a great teacher resume
20+ examples of teacher resumes from kindergarten up to college level
This example is a basic teacher resume that can be customized. The main sections include your name and vital contact information, a professional summary, your core competencies, work experience, and an education section. The teacher resume follows a reverse-chronological format, meaning the professional experience starts with your most recent position at the top. Throughout this teacher resume, keywords have been incorporated, including hard skills, soft skills, and qualifications. The bullet points and consistent line spacing makes this teacher's resume easy to read while being concise and relevant, with enough white space so that it does not overwhelm the reader.
Now let’s look in more detail at each section that is required on a teacher's resume.
Qualifications and certifications.
When drafting a teacher’s resume, you’ll want to display your qualifications and certificates prominently. Teaching jobs require certain certifications by law. Many teachers also have graduate degrees. All of this information should be displayed under an education heading. For those jobseekers with professional work experience, this section should go at the end of your resume.
If you don’t have a teaching certification, you can note your current credential program, temporary or emergency certifications, or substitute permits (depending on your state) instead .
Pro Tip: If you are a newly qualified teacher with little work experience, place your education section underneath the Professional Profile towards the top of your teacher resume.
You’ll also want to include your soft and hard skills on your resume . Your soft skills, such as communication, classroom management, lesson planning, and time management, will demonstrate how well you work with students, administration, and other teachers.
Your hard skills will display your familiarity with certain technologies. For example, you may want to note how comfortable you are with Google Classrooms, Blackboard, Zoom, and other EdTech (education technology) tools.
Your skills are usually pulling double duty these days. Try to match your skills to the job description using the same language. By doing this, you’ll look like a great match for teaching positions to both administrators and any ATS ( applicant tracking systems ) used by a school’s HR team.
For example, if a job description requires that applicants are fluent in Spanish, your resume needs to include the keyword phrase “fluent in Spanish”.
Finally, all teacher resumes should include your experience in teaching. To earn a credential, you must log a certain number of hours teaching. Your teacher resume should include the educational establishment where you taught, along with the dates, and the name of your supervisor. Detail your classroom experience with the focus being on results and data. No one can argue with data! A Californian teacher may emphasize the Common Core Standards she taught, whereas a high school teacher would want to draw attention to the stunning test scores that his students achieved year after year, with comparable data to really drive home those achievements.

You will note that the qualifications and certifications are listed in the education section on page two. The practical skills are detailed up top in the professional summary (labeled profile on this example) as well as in the core proficiencies and throughout the work experience. The work experience is comprehensive. It provides a robust look at what this candidate is recognized for, capable of, and will likely bring to a new position.
The work experience section of this teacher resume highlights the candidate’s ability to differentiate learning, which is a key element that school administrators emphasize when looking for new hires. There are also many instances of creating a safe and effective learning environment for pupils under a variety of circumstances.
Many art teachers, and artists in general, make the mistake of turning their resume into an art project. Your resume should not be a collage of colors and patterns. Instead, it should keep the focus on your proven skills and experience. This example shows how an art teacher can write about a job using keywords that fully engage the reader.
The work experience section also references pursuing professional development. If this is something valued by a particular school or in a certain job description, you can reinforce your professional development in the education section.

Showcasing experience of teaching students who have developmental delay or intellectual disabilities can be hard to convey in words. This example of a special education teacher resume displays several bullet points related to these required skills:
Created and managed IEPs to define student learning objectives and educational strategies, in addition to applying instructional knowledge and methods to support goals.
Established a safe play environment for the students.
Gave one-on-one attention to students, while maintaining overall focus on the entire group .

Clashing cymbals, students who are tone deaf, and a talented youngster on the flute–all of these scenarios can happen at once in a music room. Music teachers need to control a classroom in addition to knowing how to teach music. This resume includes experience with both of those attributes.
Substitute teachers may have experience in just one subject, but they also want to show how they can add value to the classroom, despite not necessarily knowing the children in their charge. This teacher resume displays great power verbs to show the flexibility that a substitute teacher requires: led, communicated, encouraged, and proctored. Demonstrating your experience in classroom management and behavior control are also great key phrases to include.
A physical education professional teaches physical fitness, generally outside of the traditional classroom setting. This example conveys experience with coaching. Depending on the depth of experience and how relevant it is to the potential job, you could add on a separate job title or include it in an “Additional work experience” section.

This section is the perfect place to display your core strengths as they relate to a specific job posting. You can add, edit, or remove skills as needed. This process is all about tailoring a resume and can greatly increase your chances of earning that all-important interview at your chosen middle school.
This math teacher sample leans towards the use of technology and other hard skills to show excellence. This message is first mentioned in the professional summary--“Adept with innovative technologies”--and reinforced in the work experience section with, “Leverage educational technology comprising various calculators, computers, and simulators to illustrate various mathematical concepts.”
Be sure to include any specific skills from the job description in your skills section to create even more impact.
Ola! This Spanish teacher resume example displays several instances of collaborating with teachers, as well as professional development, in the work experience bullet points. That’s another important aspect of this career--it’s not all about teaching the students!
An ESL teacher, who teaches English as a second language, is predisposed to being a linguistic genius, as well as being able to cooperate with pupils of different cultural backgrounds. This teacher resume showcases both of these strengths by stating that the person is tri-lingual and “enriches learning experience to diverse populations.”
High school teachers may teach one or more subjects depending on job demand. Generally, a high school teacher’s resume should focus on the subject that is core to standardized testing, but still includes the additional subject or subjects within the work experience.
The example above uses a paragraph and bullet point format to explain past jobs. This ensures the most important information is easy to view, without leaving anything out.
A high school math teachers’ core competencies section on their resume should include only the most relevant skills. This will be determined by the job description as well as a person’s aptitude.
Here are some examples for a high school math teacher resume:
Core Competencies
Mathematics
Trigonometry
Performance Metrics
Web-Based Learning
Program Evaluation
Student Motivation
Relationship Building
Source: High School Math Teacher Resume Example
This candidate includes skills that are the foundations to being a successful math teacher, such as algebra, geometry, and trigonometry, as well as skills required for an instructor, including performance metrics, relationship building, and student motivation. As an extra, web-based learning is included to add even more value.
This resume, which is specifically for a high school biology teacher, uses the core competencies to highlight general classroom management skills instead of subject matter expertise. This is a smart move for teachers who are open to teaching students additional subjects, whether or not they have any experience in teaching them. It is also a good tactic for substitute teachers who fill in for any class.
This English teacher resume sample uses the core competencies section to blend subject matter skills related to English with soft skills that relate to teaching. Team building, effective communication, collaboration, and student evaluations are great skills to note on a resume for both English and ESL teachers.
Further related resume examples include Teacher Aide , Assistant Teacher , Long Term Substitute Teacher , Online Teacher and Homeschool Teacher .
Instilling a sense of fun and enjoyment into learning for young children is vital, in order for them to grow and flourish, and want to keep learning throughout their lives. They say patience is a virtue, along with tolerance, and they are certainly great assets to have when teaching in early years education!
Montessori teachers adopt a particular method of education that places more emphasis on developing children’s natural interests and activities, as opposed to using more formal and traditional teaching methods. These strengths are highlighted in this teacher resume with bullet points such as, “Observed children and interpreted their needs,” and “Coordinated with other teachers to develop lesson plans for children to develop their intellectual, physical, emotional, and social skills.”
Similar examples of resumes in early education include Kindergarten Teacher , Daycare Teacher and Preschool Teacher Assistant .
In higher education, a resume must display your expertise in your subject matter as well as your ability to lead a classroom. The resume summary is an excellent opportunity to do both.
In the above example, notice how the resume summary refers to the instructor’s ability to communicate with multiple groups of people including students, colleagues, and administrators. It also highlights the candidate’s ability to lead engaging class discussions. These soft skills can make all the difference between a good educator and a great one.
The professional summary also makes references to research and tenure. These aspects should be echoed in the work experience section. If there is a lot of research to include, that can have its own section.
Source: College Professor Resume Example
As an adjunct professor, this candidate summarizes both an established reputation on campus along with industry experience. Adjunct faculty--as well as guest lecturers and other higher education professionals who are not on a tenure track--should use a resume to showcase what makes them distinctive. The summary is an excellent place to start, as it is the first section that the reader sees.

Pro Tip: These higher educational examples are of resumes, not academic CVs. The terms are not interchangeable, so please refer to each job description to know which document to submit.
Yoga teacher resume.
A major part of teaching is retaining and furthering your knowledge of industry advancements. A successful yoga teacher resume illustrates your ability to drive fitness and wellness by leading students through controlled breathing, visualizations, and meditation lessons. On your resume, demonstrate how you maintain up-to-date knowledge of yoga practices in order to apply cutting-edge expertise of techniques and exercises that meet individual client needs.
Sunday school teachers hold a special place in the hearts of lots of children, so illustrate your strengths in a tightly written and informative resume, with the focus on promoting good values and community spirit.
It’s always a good idea to have an up-to-date resume, even if you’re not currently on the hunt for a job. While updating your resume, it’s smart to compare your work experience with recent teacher job listings and updated professional resume samples. That will give you a better idea of how your resume should look, and what teaching skills are valued at this moment in time.

Whether you’re a tenured educator or just starting your teaching career, a well-crafted resume is key to finding job opportunities. To write a good resume, you’ll need to carefully consider the unique requirements and expectations of the educational services sector. Showcase your skills in lesson planning, managing students, testing students, and more. This comprehensive guide will help you write a standout resume that shows your skills, achievements, and passion for teaching.
Your resume profile should catch hiring managers’ attention by summarizing your top strengths as a teacher in just two or three sentences. Brag about yourself a bit. Include some impressive facts, such as the number of years you’ve been in the education field or any industry recognition you’ve earned. Emphasize your experience teaching specific subjects and grade levels, or mention specialized programs and initiatives you were involved in that relate to your goals.

Art educator with strong recent work, volunteer, and academic experience. Passionate about engaging students in art theory and practice and helping young people explore their creative potential. Skilled at adapting instructional methods to each student’s learning style. Master of Arts in Teaching.
The experience section is where you can give detailed examples of the impact you’ve made in the classroom. Focus on achievements that reflect the skills your target employers are looking for. Avoid writing a long list of duties and instead take a dynamic approach by quantifying your experience with numbers and percentages. For instance, you could give data on how you’ve helped raise test scores, increase graduation rates, or launch successful programs.

3. include your teaching education and certifications.
Hiring managers want to see you have the education required to teach and engage with students effectively. List your education degrees to help establish your credibility and provide a clear picture of your knowledge base. Starting with your highest level of education, list the degree name, institution, location, and completion date.
You can further strengthen your resume by including relevant training and certifications. Whether it’s a teaching certificate, subject-specific endorsement, or specialized training in English as a Second Language (ESL) instruction, credentials show you’re committed to professional development. Format this section similarly, providing the certificate title, issuing organization, and date received.
Including a key skills section on your resume highlights your mastery and can set you apart from other applicants. This section helps employers see how you manage a classroom, engage students, and contribute to the overall success of a school. Align your skills section with those in the job posting and present yourself as the candidate who meets the school’s needs. Here’s a list of skills you could use on your teacher resume:
Key Skills and Proficiencies | |
---|---|
Classroom management | Complex problem-solving |
Conflict management and resolution | Curriculum development |
Differentiated learning | Emotional intelligence |
Leadership | Learning assessment |
Lesson planning | Multicultural awareness and sensitivity |
Organizational skills | Parent and guardian relations |
Public speaking and presentations | Reporting and documentation |
Student engagement | Teamwork and collaboration |
Technology integration | Test development and delivery |
Time management |
Before creating your resume, you need to choose a template. The best one for a teacher is clean and orderly, with a layout that highlights relevant achievements and skills. Select a professional template with plenty of white space for readability and visual appeal. Impress hiring managers with your background as an educator rather than distract them with decorative fonts or elaborate graphics.
What are common action verbs for teacher resumes -.
It can be hard to find the right words for your past teaching work. If you need more ways to describe your professional experience, we're here to help. Below is a list of common action verbs for educators to include on their resumes. Consider starting your bullet points with some of these dynamic words to convey your teaching contributions effectively:
Action Verbs | |
---|---|
Advise | Analyze |
Collaborate | Coordinate |

The job outlook for teachers from preschool to university is healthy, with a projected average growth of 9% over the next decade. By 2031, all these grade levels combined are expected to see more than 350,000 new jobs added to the workforce. Despite this growth, it’s still important to craft a resume that allows you to shine in a crowd of applicants.
If you have a specific teaching position in mind, you'll need to align your resume with the job posting. Take time to customize your resume by including relevant information that overlaps with the job requirements. Incorporate keywords and phrases from the job post throughout your resume to show you're the best candidate.
In nearly all cases, use a Combination (or Hybrid) resume because it’s easiest for hiring managers to learn about your pertinent skills and experience – it’s also the simplest one to align with your job goals.
With the Combination format, you highlight your most relevant skills and experience in your experience or work history section, and an intro section. (This combination of work history and intro content is where the format gets its name.) Your resume intro should usually include a profile summary and key skills section, but you may also add a career highlights or awards section. By carefully choosing the details for these intro sections, you can position yourself for your target job and give hiring managers a clear, quick view of what you offer.

While building your resume, the "About Me" section in a resume is that golden opportunity to showcase who you uniquely and professionally are.

How do you convey everything you've accomplished and have to offer in a way that draws attention and leaves potential employers wanting more information?
With an About Me resume section.
A well-written section at the top of your resume that summarizes your most impressive achievements (sometimes called a professional summary, personal statement, short professional bio, resume objective, or an about me) is your opportunity to make a solid first impression.
So, where do you start? And how do you make sure your About Me section captures your unique value proposition in a way that separates you from other applicants?
Struggling to write a good About Me? Try Teal's Resume Builder with AI generation .
Your About Me resume section, or short professional bio , is a paragraph (typically just a few sentences long) near the top of your resume that introduces recruiters or hiring managers to who you are as a professional.
As a concise summary of your professional journey, this section offers a high-level overview of your entire resume and includes skills, experience, and achievements—driving potential employers to dig in deeper because they have a glimpse of who you are and the incredible things you're capable of.
Your About Me resume section grabs the attention of hiring managers and recruiters. And it's necessary because it …
In today's crowded job market, you have just a few opportunities to stand out from other job seekers before you land an interview. Crafting a short paragraph about yourself at the top of your resume allows you to highlight the most impressive achievements, impact, key skills, and milestones of your career—making you a unique and valuable candidate.
How many years of experience do you have? Where have you had the most influence? How does what you know how to do translate into what potential employers are looking for?
A concise and well-crafted About Me summary on a resume allows recruiters and hiring managers to quickly pull your top qualifications and understand your experience—making it easier for them to assess your fit for the role.
Don't know what skills to highlight? You can quickly and easily pull this information from your exhaustive Career History within the Teal platform and craft a strong summary with the help of AI technology and ChatGPT.
With modern hiring processes and tools like job boards, LinkedIn Easy Apply, and website submissions, recruiters and hiring managers are often inundated with hundreds of applications. Unfortunately, they don't always have much time to dedicate to reviewing every detail of each resume—at least in the beginning.
A highlight reel of your professional experience allows them to swiftly identify you as a qualified candidate whose skills align with the job requirements and move you to the next stage of the hiring process.
Maybe you're just starting out and creating a resume with no work experience . Or perhaps you have extensive experience in one field, but you're changing careers entirely. Whatever the case may be, a summary of your transferable skills and any other relevant experience is crucial for offering context and elaborating on how what you can do will help you succeed in a new role.
Want to write your About Me resume section now? Try Teal's Resume Summary Generator to get started!
If you're looking for a fast way to craft your About Me section, Teal can help.
Our resume generator includes two fantastic options for creating your About Me. You can draft your summary or just click the "Generate with AI" button.
Pro Tip: After selecting the summary that showcases you as the best candidate, save it. Then, finish any remaining sections, choose from the best resume templates , and customize what you want (color, margins, font, etc.) That's it!
Now that you know what an About Me section is and why you need one, let's explore what to put in the About Me section of a resume to highlight your best professional accomplishments and make you a standout candidate.
Your professional title, also known as your resume title , offers a glimpse into your areas of expertise and your level of responsibility. Whether you're an "HR Manager," "Graphic Designer," or "Project Manager," clearly mention your job title to give a snapshot of your core competencies .
A straightforward "years of experience" is often a job requirement. How long you've been in a role or job position can be essential in establishing your level of expertise while offering hiring managers a sense of career growth and demonstrating your familiarity with the industry or field. (And whether you're a C-suite leader or an entry-level candidate, specifying your years of previous experience helps set the right expectations from the first interaction.)
By showcasing relevant skills on your resume that align with the job requirements, you capture attention and effectively convey your ability to do the job you're applying for.
Your specific skills are a powerful indicator of whether or not you're right for the position. They also set you apart from other candidates and increase your chances of being considered for an interview. So, what hard and soft skills might your future employer be looking for?
Pro Tip: Showcase your skills in a standalone section. With the free Resume Builder you can build a customized Skills section with as many tools, soft skills, and technical skills as needed. Create skill categories to organize specific skill sets in ways that are most relevant to the position you're applying for.
Numbers are powerful.
Include one or two quantifiable metrics in your About Me summary that showcase your achievements and contributions whenever possible.
For example, instead of saying that you increased sales, mention that you boosted sales by 25% within six months. These metrics provide concrete evidence of your abilities and make your resume accomplishment examples more impressive.
If you aren't sure how to craft metrics-based statements, try the Assistant within our Resume Builder . Choose from the drop-down options and use them as a guide to craft impactful statements that grab attention.
Your About Me is ideal for showcasing achievements and awards on a resume . These distinctions are powerful indicators of exceptional performance.
Whether you've received prestigious honors, peer recognition awards, industry certifications, or commendations, including them further validates your expertise—demonstrating your commitment to your job and providing tangible evidence of your ability to deliver outstanding results.
If you have more than one, a dedicated Awards section with all of your relevant awards and scholarships is also an excellent way to showcase these achievements.
While there are a few elements you should always include in a professional summary or an About Me section, there are also some pitfalls to avoid. So, what are a few things to steer clear of?
While your About Me section is a personal statement around who you are as a professional , avoid giving too much personal detail that may distract from the primary objective.
Remember, this isn't your autobiography. (Although your entire story might be great, this just isn't the place for it!) Avoid including personal details like marital status, hobbies, or political affiliations. Stick to relevant professional information that showcases your qualifications.
Do your best to focus on current or past experiences, skills, and accomplishments rather than your future career goals. Save details like an overall career objective for interview discussions, where you can align them with questions specific to the role and company you're applying to.
A short summary of your professional background and qualifications shouldn't duplicate all the information in your resume.
The top of your resume has limited space. Instead, choose the most impactful and relevant details to grab the attention of a hiring manager or recruiter. Remember, the goal is to entice them to read the rest of your resume, not reiterate its contents.
Stating you want the job or to work for the company may seem obvious. Of course, you're excited and want the role; you applied! But bringing it to the attention of a hiring manager or recruiter adds no real value to your About Me or professional summary.
Instead, express your enthusiasm about the position during the interview process by illustrating your thorough research and understanding of the company, culture, and role.
@teal_hq Where do you stand on the professional summary debate? Some recruiters find those brief career highlights helpful—and others say skip it and save the space on your resume. While professional summaries aren’t a make-or-break, they can be an opportunity to speak about your career in aggregate. Here’s how to use ChatGPT to write a professional summary for your resume in under 60 seconds. Just be sure to edit and adjust as needed before submitting. #chatgpt #chatgpt3 #resume #resumetips #careertok #jobsearch ♬ Say So (Instrumental Version) [Originally Performed by Doja Cat] - Elliot Van Coup
Ready to optimize your About Me resume section? Let's explore some resume tips and best practices for crafting a compelling summary that grabs attention and showcases you in the best light—quickly.
When creating an About Me resume section that's easily scannable, brevity is crucial.
Keep your paragraph concise and to the point. In just a few sentences, focus on the most relevant information recruiters and hiring managers need to know. Aim for around three to five sentences that effectively capture your years of experience and notable achievements while highlighting key qualifications that align with the job description of the role you're applying for.
Rather than writing in the second person (using "you" and "your" language) or third person (an objective narrator), the first-person voice adds a personal touch. It allows you to connect with the hiring manager on a more one-to-one level—creating a sense of authenticity and transparency.
Want to express that you genuinely understand the role you're applying for? Include keywords for resume from the job description. Language from the description often resonates more with potential employers because they're the ones who wrote the job ad in the first place.
So how can you do that?
Take the time to carefully read the job description and identify the skills and qualifications the employer is looking for. For example, do they need someone who has five years of experience? Do they mention research skills? How about strong interpersonal skills? Are they looking for experience in social media marketing?
Once you've found the right skills, incorporate a few of those as keywords or phrases into your About Me section. (But as a note, don't just cram them into one section in your resume. You can incorporate keywords within resume bullet points and in your skills section.)
If you're not sure where to start, Teal has you covered.
Use Teal's Resume Matching to compare your current resume to the specific details of the job that you want to apply for. You'll get a Match Score that breaks down which hard skills, soft skills, and keywords are important for you to incorporate into your resume.
Then, you can use these insights to help you tailor your About Me section to the role.
Additionally, you can also use Teal's free Job Application Tracker to highlight which skills and language are emphasized in each of the job positions you save. This can help enhance your process as you start preparing your resume for different positions.
Using strong resume action verbs throughout your document adds strength and a feeling of movement to any section in your resume.
Begin resume sentences with verbs that convey you're proactive and results-driven. For example, instead of saying, "I was responsible for managing a team," try, "Led and motivated a team of 10 professionals, resulting in a 20% increase in productivity."
If you feel like crafting an engaging and effective About Me section for your resume is overwhelming, below are a few examples of how to start a resume to get you on the right track!
