How to tailor your resume for a Teaching Assistant role

1. Describe what you ran independently, a small group or intervention session, matching the grade level the posting names; independent ownership is what separates a colleague from an extra chair.
2. Name the populations and plans you supported, IEPs, English learners, behavior plans, matching anything the posting mentions; specificity here is exactly what schools screen for in this role.
3. Include the operational load you carried, grading, family communication, classroom technology, matching any support language in the posting; teachers hire assistants who remove real work from their plate.
4. Match the subject or grade band you supported to the posting's own focus; a mismatch reads as unfamiliar with the specific classroom this posting is describing.

Referred candidates are roughly 40 times more likely to reach an interview than cold applicants. (referral-to-interview research)
