Tips for Teaching/Tutoring Resumes and Applying for Jobs

Just a quick note since we hire a lot of tutors, make sure you always follow the instructions listed on a job application. If they say “no phone calls” for example, make sure not to call. :) The same applies to sending documents as attachments versus inline text. We get hundreds of applications a week for people who want to tutor at http:steppingstonetutors.com but immediately weed out the ones that don’t follow our instructions.

The biggest reason for an employer to be specific about their requirements when applying for a position is that they may receive a huge number for resumes or applications on any given day and simply don’t have the time or resources to read through each one if there isn’t a standard format. For an example of our requirements for tutors visit: bit.ly/SSBZi
