Before submitting your resume and cover letter in TK20 we suggest proofreading your application materials thoroughly. These documents provide a first impression of your professionalism and potential. In the past, some applicants have been rejected due to grammar and spelling errors. It is also strongly encouraged that you visit Career Services in 145 Marano Campus Center to review both your cover letter and resume.
Please be mindful of all your social media accounts. Be certain that if a prospective cooperating teacher searches for you, they only find evidence of your professionalism.
