Create your resume...
As English Language Teaching is a global profession, teaching professionals must have an up-to-date Resume/CV available at all times for future employers. What better way then, than to join the 20,000+ professionals who already have their resume online at TEFL.com! Unlike other web sites which offer visitors a simple "cut'n'paste" resume database, the TEFL.com database has been created to provide employers with the most comprehensive information possible. Your prospective employer can search the Resume Database using a range of criteria to locate the most suitable candidate for the position. By requiring your resume to be periodically updated, we can assure employers that only professionals actively seeking a post are included in the database. If you are "resting" and do not wish to be considered for a position at present, then you can easily deactivate your resume temporarily. Using our unique InstApply system, you can send your resume to any e.mail address in the world! You can also add your photograph, an audio clip and even a video clip to your online resume!
You can sign-up now at http://www.tefl.com/app/seeker/?action=signup.
