Sample Teacher Resume

It is said that parents are our first teachers; but still the role of our school teachers cannot be undermined. The bond that we make with them most probably stays with us for our lifetime. We can never forget that special teacher who taught us our first poems, first alphabets and the first song. These cherished memories can never be tarnished by any of the punishments that might have been meted out to us. This sample resume is also of such a teacher, who has worked previously as a teaching assistant and now wants the position of a full time teacher in an elementary school. Anyone can feel free to use this resume sample after changing the essential details.
