If you are becoming or have already become a TEFL certified teacher, you may be wondering how to properly add your TEFL education and TEFL work experience to your resume, making it stand out and landing you a TEFL job in Buenos Aires.

A resume is a very important part in the hiring of an English teacher; employers around the world will look at your resume as a small glimpse into who you are, what you have done, and what you can do. Therefore, it is important to get it right.

1. Tailor your entire resume to TEFL; objectives, education, experience should be linked to TEFL.
2. Under the ‘education’ area on your resume, add your TEFL course and be sure to include:

Title of the TEFL course

Name of the institute that offered the course

Direction and country of the Institute

The length, including hours of the course

1. If you have any TEFL experience, add it under your work experience; explain your title, responsibilities, class size, language level, and any achievements.
2. Add a travel section to your resume. This is a great way for your employer to see the countries you have traveled to, as well as that you have experienced other countries and cultures, making you a safe candidate to hire abroad.
3. Add a language section if you speak any other languages, even if only at a beginner level. If you are teaching English in Buenos Aires, for example, and speak Spanish, this can be a great advantage to a future employer.

Always make sure that your TEFL resume is clean and clear, features your education and experience in a orderly manner, and demonstrates your ability to be a great TEFL teacher.
