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.

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 host teacher is searching you, they only find evidence of your professionalism.
