Guide to Writing a Winning Cover Letter for New Teachers

Featured

When applying for any job, it’s important to set yourself apart from other candidates. A well-written cover letter can help you do just that. A cover letter serves as your introduction to the hiring manager, and it’s your opportunity to make a good first impression. A strong new teacher cover letter can generate greater interest in your application, as it reveals more about your personality and character than your resume alone can.
