Teachers - what would you like to see on a T.A.'s CV please?

[orangeisthenewblue]

I have to update my CV for a T.A. application and I would really appreciate some hints or advice as to what sorts of things you look for in a CV and what kinds of thing would stand out for you? Equally, are there any cliches that I should avoid?

I have worked in a classroom environment before but not as a T.A., so I do have some transferable skills. I'm just not sure how best to frame them.

thanks for your help

Sorry , not any help I know but

I'm not sure that teachers are the correct people to ask, as they will have little or nothing to do with the process of employing a member of staff.

Clichés-wise, I personally hate it when applicants use the phrase "as a mum myself..." or "as a busy mum..." as this is irrelevant to their ability to do the job.
Personally I like to see a well-written personal statement but I much prefer to meet someone and get a feeling. Is this person warm? Do they genuinely love children? Do they have a good subject knowledge?
Best of luck, I hope you find something fab.

I'd want to know what you had to offer beyond the average mum volunteer.
Experience with running small groups in cubs or scouts, expertise because you have a child with additional needs, particular strengths in a curriculum area that you'd be willing to share, ability to work closely with a teacher, flexibility with what's being asked of you. Willingness to take on training if necessary.
BUt yes, teachers don't do the hiring.
