One of the most common obstacles job seekers face in writing their own resumes and cover letters is that of how to handle gaps in their employment history. Gaps are spans of unemployment that typically come about as a result of a planned leave of absence or an unexpected resignation or sudden termination. Of course, there are many reasons why gaps occur—short-term substitute assignments, a move due to a spouse’s job transfer, a stay-at-home-mother returning to the workforce, a mutual ‘parting of the ways’ between employer/employee, etc.—and so it’s not necessary to assume a gap will automatically raise a red flag with the prospective school district.

I Can Do This Job and I Will Do This Job

“I can do this job and I will do this job” basically means that you have the skills and expertise to carry out job responsibilities 100% and that you are actually willing and eager to perform those duties.

When creating your résumé and cover letter keep that motto in mind and let your commitment shine through in your writing. This can be a bit harder to do in a résumé. The perfect place to highlight your skills and years of experience is in a profile paragraph directly below your contact information and job title. Briefly indicate which traits you possess that are desired by the hiring organization. Also include a sentence or two describing your dedication to helping the company/organization/school district achieve its goals and philosophy.
