A good resume should contain your job history, accomplishments. Your teaching qualifications are an important part of your overall experience, and a good teaching resume shows this.During the course of your teaching career, you will be asked to evaluate the effectiveness of your teaching program. This evaluation can include many elements, such as student performance, student assignments, programs, and assessments. Your teaching evaluations will help you determine what you need to do to improve your teaching. If you were able to conduct a good evaluation, your students will be more motivated to learn.Teaching students outside of your normal class s etting is one of the most rewarding parts of your teaching. It is very helpful to do this when you are a junior in high school or college. Once you enter into your third or fourth year, you can teach in your home school if you desire. It is a great way to do some research on your own time.You will need to take the national and state teachers test, the GRE, if you wish to work as a teacher.

How to Tell Your Friends You Got a Raise
How to Tell Your Friends You Got a Raise You earn a raise or a promotion, and the first person you want to share the good news with is your significant other or a close friend. Itâs instinctive. But these days, itâs best to proceed with cautionâ"especially if youâre a Millennial. If your bestie isnât doing so well at work, news of your big promotion or bonus could strain the relationship. âWork trajectories are incredibly unpredictable for all generations working today, but particularly for Millennials in the early years of their careers,â says Lindsey Pollak, author of the new book Becoming the Boss: New Rules for the Next Generation of Leaders. âWith young professionals leaving jobs more quickly and the barrier to entrepreneurship quite low thanks to the Internet, it is likely that Millennial friends or significant others will have widely disparate levels of career or financial success.â Friendships can be tested when there are income differences at play. When one friend has a lot of money to spend on fancy dinners, shopping trips and lavish vacations while other friends are struggling to pay the rent, says Pollak, it can lead to disagreements over how to spend time together or, at the least, a bit of discomfort. So how should you break the news of a promotion, salary increase, or job change to a close friend whoâs struggling financially or career-wise? First, take a moment to empathize, Pollak says: âAsk yourself what you would want your friend to say if the roles were reversed,â she says. Then, try to give the news a more sensitive spin. Concentrate on sharing it in a humble way, says Pollak. And as a general rule, leave out specific numbers, like the size of your salary increase. In other words: âIâm really excitedâ"I just found out I got a promotion to the associate role Iâve been wanting!â or âIt looks like Iâll be getting a nice bonus at the end of the year. Can I take you out for drinks to celebrate?â rather than âI am getting a huge raiseâ"like $35,000 more than I make now! Can you believe it?!â Depending on the friend and how close you are, you may decide that itâs best to stay mum. âItâs really a personal choice depending on your relationship and how public the news is,â says Pollak. But keep in mind that not sharing can be just as hurtful, in some cases. âNo friend wants to feel that you excluded him or her from your career news because he or she isnât as successful,â says Pollak. Finally, what if your significant other is the one whoâs struggling? âCharacterize your success in terms of âweâ â" especially if you are in a long-term committed relationship,â says Pollak. âAnd use your promotion as an opportunity to thank your partner for being supportive and helping to make your success possible.â If that doesnât do the trick, she says, âthen you might want to look at bigger issues in your relationship.â Farnoosh Torabi is a contributing editor at Money and author of When She Makes More: 10 Rules for Breadwinning Women.

Learn The Career Path Of A Computer Technician - Work It Daily
Learn The Career Path Of A Computer Technician - Work It Daily This is a true story as told to DiversityJobs.com where you can find helpful career interviews and job search advice in your desired industry. Visit to find a career interview in your field today. Iâm a computer technician. Iâve been in this industry for about seven years. The majority of my experience was with a large insurance organization, where I provided internal computer support and repairs to the employees working there. My work involved repairing, maintaining and training employees to ensure the companyâs computers and related peripherals worked properly so everyone could do their job. The work I do is pretty specific and in many cases; those who require assistance with computer related problems often think computer technicians can fix any computer problem. Thatâs not always the case. Some computer technicians focus on software, hardware or their related equipment. Weâre not all one in the same. Although Iâm the proverbial âcomputer geekâ that enjoys resolving computer problems, Iâd rate my job a 6 on a scale of 1 to 10. Seems like a low rating, but people can get very upset when their computer breaks and it takes time to resolve the issue. Computer technicians in general can take on multiple projects, all of which are high priority. The Career Path Of A Computer Technician Iâve been working with computers since a young age and had the opportunity to not only obtain my education through a state grant, but find employment immediately after graduation. At a young age, I was making a very good salary, which of course was appealing. I didnât realize the demands of the job would be so intense. If I could go back and change anything, I might have focused my education in an information technology discipline thatâs less demanding. Letâs face it, computer geeks are typically introverts, so being on the phone helping employees and customers can really go against our nature. I wouldnât want to mislead anyone about the work. If youâre customer service oriented and enjoy working with people and technology, this is definitely a career for you. The work can be very rewarding, especially when youâve resolved a bad technical issue. In some cases, you save your employer and customers thousands of dollars. I got up and went to work each day for that challenge and the financial satisfaction of my career. I knew I was making a good living doing what I love to do most, which is troubleshooting and resolving computer issues. Although the job is stressful, I do maintain a healthy work-life balance. Itâs generally a standard eight-hour work day, so when I leave the office, I literally leave the stress behind. Not all computer technician jobs have this kind of balance, but if youâre employed to generally help internal employees and customers, itâs rare you work overtime. Thatâs the part of the job I really enjoyed. I made a good living and rarely worked overtime or on-call. The working world is much more stressful than what my education and training required, especially dealing with computer problems. Today, technology is an important part of any business and it's used daily for almost all employees to accomplish their work on a daily basis. Employees often became very stressed when their computers had issues. I understood why; they had to complete their work everyday. I earn about $15.00 per hour. My company offers bonuses, benefits and paid time off for the work I do. My vacation is 10 days and I accrue more with my years of service to the company. I always take my vacation time by selecting time off throughout the year. Itâs never enough, but I donât think anyone is happy with their current salary and benefits package. I would love to earn more, and frequently look at other job openings, but generally many companies pay the same wages. Iâd like to continue my education. In the information technology industry, you have to be current with technological advances and obtain a variety of certifications to earn higher wages. Anything related to computers continues to evolve and anyone interested in this field should understand theyâll need to continue their education to advance. Although chances are Iâll always be employed because of my skills, I wonât earn much higher wages unless I continue my education and keep up with technology trends. In five years, I hope to move into a supervisory role or even become self-employed in this industry. Technology is becoming a way of life and I feel if I can offer my knowledge and expertise to anyone who needs it, it could lead to early retirement. My work is not only a âjob,â but also a hobby, so I think Iâll be happier if the money I earn is through my efforts rather than a company paying me.
