Too general

Responsible for tasks in teaching.

More specific — fictional example

Designed reading activities and used formative assessments to adjust lesson pacing.

What to highlight

Start with experience that is most relevant to the vacancy. In teaching, give context to lesson planning, assessment and learning support. Mention educational stages, subjects and teaching formats. Describe how you adapted activities and assessed learning. Avoid identifying students or attributing improved results to your work without sufficient evidence.

An example to guide your writing

Fictional example: “Designed reading activities and used formative assessments to adjust lesson pacing.” Use it as a structural reference, not as a statement about your career. Replace each action with something you actually did. If you have a verifiable measure, add scope and time period; otherwise explain the qualitative outcome without inventing numbers.

A structure that is easy to read

Start with your name, professional contact details and a brief summary. List experience and education from most recent to oldest. For each entry, include role or qualification, organisation, dates and a concrete description. Select skills relevant to the position and remove repetition. Early in your career, projects and education can come before employment.

Before sending your PDF

Check links, email, dates and spelling. Open the PDF and verify that text can be selected and headings are not stranded. Use A4 or Letter as requested by the application. A clear template helps readers, but no design guarantees passing an ATS or getting an interview. Keep a version for each vacancy without accidentally changing earlier applications.

Earnings describe surveyed workers, not a job offer or a personal salary prediction. USD monthly series may reflect exchange-rate changes. Employment is not the number of job advertisements.

Coverage, updates and skills

The server checks sources weekly. Observation dates depend on each source. ILOSTAT covers broad groups internationally; BLS adds selected US occupations and states. A decline in a series is not evidence that a profession is disappearing.

Country-level skill demand and skill-specific pay are not available in these feeds. We do not infer them from occupational wages.
