Your Cover Letter:
The first view of your application material by an employer is usually your cover letter. When writing your cover letter, be concise! This is your introduction of yourself to the employer and you want them to continue reading the letter, to "grab them" so they want to read more. Your cover letter should be only page and should be strategically written. If you are a recent graduate, find two areas that can highlight your skills and experiences that are pertinent to the goals of the district. If you are a second career candidate, it would be important to highlight that you have finished your education, highlight your work experiences (especially if you have worked in the schools as a paraprofessional) and your dream of teaching. Let the employer know that you have completed the online application and are available for interviews. Double check your letter to make sure that spelling and grammar are correct and that you have the correct employer in the opening. This is your first impression with the employer!!!
