<p>Philosophy of Education<br />
A school is similar to a planet: one must break through many complex layers before reaching the core. The crust or surface of this particular planet consists of communities, all with varied levels of diversity. Those on the surface often have a need or a want for education and schooling in order to fulfill their individual prophecies of life. Within the many communities and lifestyles the individuals thrive from education on a daily basis, from life until death. Still, in order for the society to grow, they must be schooled. So below the surface there are teachers to fill the emptiness with knowledge and to allow for the other aspects of the student to continue growing in their individual cultures. The parents of these students expect the teacher to agree or at least support all of their beliefs.<br />
Not only do the parents expect a teacher to have a strong code of ethics and be able to influence their children as individuals, the teacher is left with many other influences on their own skills. The mantle of the planet, or the layer under the core, consists of the upper administration, such as the principal and the superintendent. The core relies on the local government and the innermost core controls all: the national government.<br />
The teacher is one of the most highly regarded influences in society among families of all creeds. They are responsible to convey as much knowledge as necessary in a practical and reasonable manner. They must give the students a chance to respond and reflect on their viewpoints, in order to build their own characters and knowledge. The environment must be kept in control, in order to stay beneficial to the learning of the child; therefore, although the students shall be given their freedom to learn, the teacher must be somewhat of a disciplinarian while maintaining a respectful environment. The individuals are what build a village, not the societal molds of mankind and the teacher should keep this in mind at all times.<br />
Since class discussions are a necessity in many fields, especially the field of English and its literary arts, it is very important that the students be responsive. In order to fulfill their participation goal it is necessary for their assignments to be complete and for their goals along with the teacher’s goals to be set at realistic standards. They shall remain respectful to all in the classroom and be given a chance to help one another as well as ask any appropriate questions to the teacher. And once and for all, they shall be given the opportunity to be themselves and the chance to communicate opinions to the class. Opinions are never right or wrong, they are a part of the mind that should be locked away from all ridicule.<br />
All the layers of the school serve as a single foundation. Within these doors of safety the children are given an environment to socialize, find their innermost talents, and build their own desirable futures from what began as only distant dreams.<br />

<p>include experience… not work experience</p>
<p>and include the subcategories of Education – Related and other</p>
<p>For your extra training, call that &#8220;Continuing education&#8221;</p>

<p>Besides setting all margins to 1&#8243;, the most important criteria for setting up a professional resume besides relevant text, is &#8220;scanability.&#8221; Here are some helpful tips:</p>
<p>1. Place just below your identification header [your hame, address, phone, email address] any Conditional Warning Statement such as &#8220;Confidential Resume,&#8221;Do Not Contact Current Employer,&#8221; etc.<br />
2. Always fill-in an Objectives category [just below the Conditional Warning Statement] and make sure that he Objective will contribute to the profitability of your future employer;<br />
3. Select a mono-type font such as Helvetica, Arial, Courier or Times Roman; do not select any cursive handwriting styles which cannot scanned;<br />
4. Keep font sizes within a range of 10 to 12 pts.;<br />
5. Avoid styling text with a justified alignment, keep it flushed left;<br />
6. Instead of using tabs to set up blocked text entries, generate a table and use the column and row settings accordingly;<br />
7. Do not place an i.d. picture anywhere on the resume, this is a major taboo due to discrimination issues;<br />
8. Do not place any graphic text [saved as .gifs] onto the resume since it may be overlooked during the scanning phase;<br />
9. List at the very end of the resume your interests which should include travel experiences, language skills, social interactions such as golf, team sports, tennis, etc.</p>
<p>In conclusion, the above helpful hints were designed to allow ease of scanning of your resume into PDF which can then be text captured for seach purposes by your potential employer. Failure to conform the resume to appropriate fonts and styles as outlined above will result in rejection of the resume simply due to the inability of the scanning device to properly index relevant resume entries.</p>
<p>Good luck!<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A few years ago we made a perfect resume in school and I can’t find it anywhere!</p>
<p>Can you help me find an &#8220;example resume&#8221; to go by so I can make another?</p>
<p>Hey KM</p>
<p>Check the site below for some examples and guidelines about resumes and cover letters.</p>
<p>Partly depends what sort of job you’re going to apply for and what your own experience is. It’s usually a good idea to try to target your resume / letter to the specifics of a particular job rather than using a ‘one-size fits all’ approach. That shouldn’t be too much work once you get a system going and have a summary or profile section where you can highlight the most relevant parts of your skill-set.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>

Top Ten Tips For Resume Writing<br />
By admin &#8211; Last updated: Saturday, September 18, 2010</p>
<p>By Cathy Baniewicz</p>
<p>1. Start with a clearly stated job objective or background summary. An objective works best when you can be specific as to the type of position you are looking for. If you are flexible and can consider several types of positions, the background summary may be the best way to highlight your skills and abilities.</p>
<p>Examples:</p>
<p>Objective: Position as a Controller utilizing successful accounting and managerial experience.</p>
<p>Background Summary: Experienced manager with excellent team abilities and strong leadership skills. Enthusiastic, highly motivated and can be counted on to get the job done.Excellent communication skills with the ability to relate to all levels within an organization.</p>
<p>(Note: If you have your resume on your computer, you can change the objective and/or background summary to fit a particular position.)</p>
<p>2. A good resume sets forth your accomplishments. It should not be a list of job duties. Employers want to know what can do for them and how you have contributed in your previous positions. Begin each statement with an action verb and provided quantifiable information whenever possible:</p>
<p>Examples:</p>
<p>Increased sales by ___% each quarter for the past two years.</p>
<p>Developed a ___________program resulting in savings of $__________.</p>
<p>Served as team leader on a project which resulted in cost savings of $________.</p>
<p>Designed and implemented a performance appraisal program for six locations.</p>
<p>3. It is not necessary to list every job you have ever had. Employers are most concerned about what you’ve done recently and not what you did fifteen years ago. Listing many years of work experience could be a liability in competing with younger workers.</p>
<p>4. Do not list hobbies or outside interests unless they have a direct correlation to the skills and abilities an employer is seeking.</p>
<p>Examples:</p>
<p>The following could raise a red flag with an employer: Hobbies; skydiving, racing – employer may consider you an insurance risk</p>
<p>However, if you a volunteer for a hospice program and you are applying to a social service agency, this could be a plus.</p>
<p>Okay, take a break and have a listen to this video…sound on!</p>
<p>5. There is nothing magic about a one-page resume. In fact, if you have been in the workforce for any length of time, it would be impossible to communicate everything you have to offer in one page. Try not to go beyond two pages or your resume might not get read.</p>
<p>6. DO NOT FALSIFY your work history or education. More employers than ever are doing background checks and you will not get hired if you are found to be dishonest. The employer can terminate you at anytime if they find out your application and/or resume was false.</p>
<p>7. Use a quality bond paper, white, cream or grey. Don’t get cute or fancy with bold colors or graphics unless you are applying for a position in the arts. Do not include a picture!</p>
<p>8. Do not overuse bolding, underlining or mix fonts. Make sure your resume is easy to read and has lots of white space. Check and double check for spelling and typos. Using spell check is not full proof. For example, if you use the word their when you really meant there, spell check would not pick this up as the word is not misspelled. Have two or three people proof your resume. After you’ve been working on it awhile, you can easily miss something.</p>
<p>9. Make sure your contact information at the top of your resume is current. If you are using your cell phone, be sure your voice mail message is professional! You will definitely turn a recruiter off if your voice mail is offensive. When job hunting, do not have little children on your voice mail.</p>
<p>10. Seek professional help if you do not have good writing skills. It is well worth the cost as you only have one chance to make a good first impression.</p>
<p>One final piece of advice! When sending out your resume, you increase your chances of getting an interview if your cover letter specifically addresses how your background and skills match what the company is looking for. Do not use a one-size-fits-all cover letter. It will be obvious to the recruiter. Do your research and find out something about the company. You will truly stand out if you do this as most people don’t take the time to go that extra step.</p>
<p>Good luck and happy job hunting!</p>
